Mine would be the Anti-Ideology. The school of thought that believes ideologies are a psychological disease which appeals to the irrational human inclination to enshrine one idea and shut out others, and is therefore inherently close-minded. Anti-Ideologists don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Ideas are but tools in a tool box.

Beutocracy
The rule of good looking people.
Absolute Beutocracy
The more people who think you're good looking, the more political power you have. Because of this, it is ussualy considered as a form of democracy, because the people still get to decide who becomes leader through a system of polling. Beutocrats who become old and are no longer considered to be good looking are discharged of their political power, but they usually still are respected enough to posses some social power comparable to a former U.S. President. The highest position is the "Supreme Beutocrat" who is elected by the "Council of Beutocrats". It is an alternating system of "man-woman-man-woman" with each term lasting three to five years.
Constitutional Beutocracy
Essentially, a regular democracy, the Beutocrat plays a role similar to a constitutional monarch, having no real power but being the ceremonial and titular "head of state".
Pornocracy
Another form of Beutocracy, it keeps political power in Beutocrats only if they give back to the people by participating in Pornography. Pornocratic Beutocrats can only do porn with other Beautocrats and if a Beutocrat refuses to participate in porn, he/she is executed.

Platonic Socialism
I know this is really old, but my idea of Platonic Socialism could apply here. It's a vaguely socialist system based mostly off the teachings of Plato, regarding the importance of a philosopher king who is set to lead the nation beyond the corrupt leanings of materialist capitalism and 'earthly socialism' in favour of everyone entering the World of the Forms. As this is the case, all other political and religious viewpoints are banned, as well as literature, drama, music and all works of fiction. The government would need to control every aspect of both public and private life it could to make sure its citizens and government do not get attached to the evils of materialism, with spy networks being established to make sure individualism ceases over time. Basic institutions such as the family and private propetlrty are done away with, replaced with state ownership of all people, and the philosopher cast choosing how the properties and people are distributed. In doing this, they would forcibly liberate the people as equals and be able to escape the dystopia that is our Earth and enter the perfect World of the Forms, where they can exist in a state of universal being and harmony, with all indovodiaukity and such subsumed in the name of great and true philosophy. What could possibly go wrong?

I came up with one for a TL I've been sort of working on for a few years:
Nostalgia. I got the idea from a post from someone on this site (I think it was Thande, but I'm not sure) who mentioned that until relatively recently nostalgia tended to be viewed quite negatively.
So:
Ideological tenants: A certain period in the past was significantly better than the current world, and a return to those ideas would lead to a stronger nation and better world. In addition, due to a basic misunderstanding of the past the ideology also stresses equality among races controlled by the state, but also a heavy focus on class, with landed aristocracy being viewed highly.
Country of Origin: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, 1926.
