Turanism is an ideology based on the belief of forming closer political integrated of the Ural-Altaic peoples, a controversial grouping that states that Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, Korean, Japonic and Finno-Ugric ethnicity share a common ancestry and language family. The theory has been scrutinised but is based on unique similarities between their respective languages and a common area of purported origin within north-eastern Siberia. Çakar has also included Mahusetans (excluding Radonics) in the Turanic family, calling them "honourary Turanians to the highest degree", but excluded South Koreans and Ryukyuans as 'uncle toms'. He has also harshly criticised Indo-Europeans, saying "compare Japan, Turkey, North Korea, Estonia and Hungary against 'Aryan' states like India, Afghanistan, Ukraine or Sweden, the latter are all failed states".
The Hasanistani Turanic Society has already been commissioned by the Hasani government into researching a new script based on the Japonic alphabet to promote a greater pan-Turanian identity within Hasanistan and it has been believed the decision to ban mocking anime was a move towards Turkish-style censorship laws banning insulting certain cultural topics regarded as integral to culture. Although pan-Turkic and mild Turanist sentiments have always existed in Hasanistan, the move towards a more radical Turanism further advanced by the formation of this Society has alarmed some as growing Hasanistani ultra-nationalism and totalitarian tendencies.
