> if any city is overly generous it quickly gets swamped It's real. People move different state to live and to do business for various reasons but most are really the benefits that other states offer. There is a difference between nationalism (being loyal and passionate about one's nationality) and identity. This is particularly obvious when it comes to ethnicity and nationality. Do I identify myself as Chinese or Chinese American? As a Chinese do I identify myself as a Chinese-speaking HK person or a Chinese? Does one identifying oneself as American because of natural birth is the same as being a nationalist? When two New Yorkers ask each other "where are you from" is it significant to hear "I am from Queens", "I am from Bronx"? You don't hear two people say "I am human, an earthly being" because obviously they are human and it would be redundant to even say to each other as introduction. Context, audience matters. Having a nationality is one form of identity. Yet, some don't have that nationality tag like many here do. In China there is census register system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hukou_system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hukou_system). Basically you can live anywhere you want, but you will be treated as second-class resident outside of your birth/registered city/town. If you are wealthy, fine, if not, you are just as nobody as homeless. This including your education and social welfare. One of the key reasons for this is to manage population distribution and welfare distribution.
