That's partly true, but I must agree with nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs in the idea of pride, although not necessarily related to a political boundary. A nation is also an identity around culture, language, tradition, and whatever makes us feel a group. Some nations don't have a State, and have equally strong feelings (Catalonia, Kurdistan, Palestine, Valonia, Flanders, etc)
