History

Sharifistani identity was promoted during it's establishment in 1922 but in terms of nationality most Sharifistanis thought of themselves as Turks, Afghans etcetera rather than Sharifistanis until circa 1935.

Identity

90.5% of Sharifistanis consider themselves patriotic and Sharifistani identity is second only to Islamic identity to most Sharifistani Muslims. This is one reason for the high rates of enlistment in the military in Sharifistan and the close-knit Sharifistani communities in other places.
