Thinking "The country I live in now is the best country in the world for people like me; I would be terribly unhappy if I was exiled." is not being nationalist.

Thinking "The country I live in now is the best country in the world for people like me; I would be terribly unhappy if I was exiled." is not being nationalist. At most it's patriotic. I miss my home country and I feel exiled by (one of) the government's policies. Every bit of my home is a deep part of me. I hope one day to return to live. I wouldn't want my home country to be divided, for security reasons, nor to be ruled by an outside power (though one can hear the English salivating at the possibility they could re-invade once Brexit is complete). But probably the transfer of power back downwards would, in my home country as in America, help heal the wounds of the last decade more than anything.
