The definition of nation:
a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.
The definition of country:
a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory.
The definition of territory:
an area of land under the jurisdiction of a ruler or state.
The definition of nationalism:
identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.
So a nation IS a particular country or territory. A country/territory is unified by a government. And nationalism is identification with that country/territory. What makes it a nation/country/territory IS the government. So nationalism is pride in being ruled by a specific government. It is the preference of your ruler over another ruler. So yes nationalism is Stockholm syndrome. I can’t make it any simpler for you than that.
