Homeland (Caithian: Mamwlad, Ghaillish: Tír Dhúchais) is a left-wing separatist political party in Caithia, which espouses democratic socialism and left nationalism, while encouraging a Caithian independence from Glytter.
The party essentially emerged in 1978 following the schism in Forward after that party accepted the terms of the Caithian Home Rule Bill and ceased calls for independence in favour of autonomy within the Kingdom of Glytter, though the modern party was only officially founded following the accommodation of the political wing of the Caithian Republican Army in 1979.
Within the Cynulliad, Homeland is the second largest party, and forms the official opposition to the governing Forward. In the 2019 elections, the party gained the sole Caithian seat in the Comhthionól Náisiúnta. The party leader, since 2008, is Einion ap Calder.
