    A country can have multiple cultures within it, and cultures can be spread across countries, but a country is a line on a map, not a set of customs and traditions etc. They can align of course, but they aren’t the same thing. People can be proud of and represent both, but you can’t choose which country you were born in.

    It sounds like maybe a better word would be patriotism?
