Rhodesian Nationalism

Rhodesian Nationalism is a Rhodesian Nationalist ideology which seeks to reinstate the country of Rhodesia, or at least something similar. It has a white-nationalist reputation and strongly opposes communism, especially Mugabeism for what it has turned the country into.

History
In the 1960s, the British Empire suddenly turned all "anti-racist" as it decolonized. Despite the tremendous sacrifices white Rhodesians made in World War II, Prime Minister Harold Wilson demanded that they hand power over to the uneducated tribalist majority, who would undoubtedly elect a communist to run the country into the ground. Fed up with British liberalism and political correctness, Rhodesia's leader Ian Smith declared independence.

The British found their declaration of independence not on their terms illegal, but had the UN impose sanctions on them, and Rhodesia was shunned and boycotted by almost the entire world, except mainly for South Africa and a few brave Americans who went to Rhodesia to fight with the Rhodesian Army.

Despite being shunned by the world, and despite being in a constant state of war during which time large portions of the white male population were on duty to keep the black terrorists at bay, Rhodesia not only survived, but thrived. It's economy grew extremely fast, and Salisbury's GDP was rising faster than London's throughout the 1970s. In the late 1970s, South Africa decided to sell out Rhodesia to build relations with African Communist countries. Thus Rhodesia's downfall was assured. After almost 20 years of standing up to the world and to terrorism, Rhodesia was forced to surrender. The country was renamed Zimbabwe and handed over to black majority rule, resulting in Mugabe getting elected.

As Ian Smith predicted, Mugabe proceeded to drag the country into complete shambles. First, he massacred the Ndebele people to eliminate a challenge to his power. Then, he wrecked the economy through socialist policies, turning the country into one of the poorest in the world. And in his biggest stroke of genius yet, he kicked out the white farmers and handed over the huge commercial farms that once fed Africa to his incompetent cronies who didn't know the first thing about farming, ensuring lots of starvation.

Meanwhile, the world, satisfied that it's left-wing "anti-colonialist" objectives had been achieved, looked away, justice had been done.

Personality
Rhodesian Nationalism is very patriotic of his home country, Rhodesia, which's land he used to farm, and wants it to come back. Though since his time, most white farmers have been raped to death by Mugabeism, so most Rhodesian Nationalists consist of admirers who feel nostalgic of Rhodesia despite it being before their time. Either way, he loves singing patriotic Rhodesian songs.

How to draw
Draw a ball. Fill it green on the left and right ends, and white in the middle. Draw the Rhodesian coat of arms in the center. Add the eyes. You're done!
