(B) Pride in your country and thinking that it is the best.

The notion and movement of nationalism asserts that the state and the country should coexist. As a movement, it seeks to advance the interests of a certain nation (i.e., a group of people), particularly with the objective of establishing and preserving the nation's sovereignty (self-governance) over its native territory. It asserts that each nation should be allowed to rule itself without interference from outsiders (self-determination), that a nation is the only legitimate foundation for a polity, and that a nation is a natural and ideal base for one. Additionally, it tries to create and uphold an unified national identity based on a variety of social traits that are shared, including culture, ethnicity, geography, language, politics (or the government), religion, traditions, and others.
