Proper Tuszkeanism is the name of a minor political ideology among the political parties of Tuszke which strives for the establishment of a Tuszkean-only government in Tuszke itself and in areas with a Tuszkean majority. The ideology also stands for the ultimate goal Tuszkean autonomy, and the eventual secession and independence of a theoretical Tuszkean state from the Kryfona Kingdom. It is officially a nominally left-wing ideology, but in practice does not have an ideological bent and thus is a stated ideological position for virtually all Tuszkean parties with the curious exception of the Pažem Tuszkeya.

Proper Tuszkeanism got its start with the founding of the Sovereign Movement by Tuszkean Velýar Bozeya in 1943 (although at the time it was not called Proper Tuszkeanism). A byproduct of the Tuszkean Political Revolution, Bozeya's party was the first overtly nationalist Tuszkean party to be founded, and inspired the founding of many copycat parties. Bozeya's movement was in fact so successful that, by early 1944, virtually every province in the Kingdom and every part of Reriskzeiy had a nationalist party or a chapter of a nationalist party. None of these nationalistic parties were quite as vehement as those representing Tuszke, however, and the nationalists of Reriskzeiy became so notorious that they came to be featured in Nylzsryfa late in 1944. Nylzsryfa's story, which spoke of these nationalists as "...in essence ... calling for a proper Tuszkean government." Subsequently the nationalists and Bozeya's Sovereign Movement in particular took to calling their ideology "Proper Tuszkeanism."

The Proper Tuszkean movements gradually coalesced during the 1940s, and by 1951 were the dominant force in Tuszkean politics. Until 1963, when the Pažem Tuszkeya was founded, Proper Tuszkean parties controlled the government of Reriskzeiy and Tuszke, although many of their true policy positions failed to be realized because of the almost-certainly unconstitutional nature of Proper Tuszkeanism. These policy positions were dealt a further blow when the Pažem Tuszkeya–a party which even in its early days was against Proper Tuszkeanism–took power in Reriskzeiy and became the dominant political party for Tuszkeans in both Reriskzeiy and at the federal level. Since 1963, Proper Tuszkean parties have only twice controlled the government of Reriskzeiy–during both periods, they largely abandoned their Proper Tuszkean policies. Nonetheless, most Tuszkean political parties remain Proper Tuszkean parties.
