Localism is the political philosophy which focuses on the local.
Localists want to put special emphasis on their local area, usually a town, village, municipality, or city; and believe that it should be governed locally, by local people and for local people.
Localism wants to protect the locality and its people, usually by preferring the local consumption and production of goods, promoting local history, strengthening local government, and/or promoting local culture and 
community.
Beliefs
Localism believes that a local area should be governed by its local people and serve their interests accordingly. Similarly, it wants to promote the locality and its community in general; wanting to help its economy by producing and consuming local as well as furthering local culture and community.
Localism is usually, at least in same sense, 
patriotic for the local area, wanting to make people aware of its history and iconography.
Personality and Behavior
Localism loves his town and the surrounding areas, he sometimes gets jokingly upset at other cities or towns and likes to meme on them. He always buys local and hosts town events to connect with the community and share his ideas.
Usually he hangs out with

Localism can often be seen to be patriotic for his town and displaying its symbolism.
