However, I feel some patriotism. It's best described as similar to being a loyal supporter of a football club. You are happy when they play well, and annoyed when they let the side down. When I am in a foreign country and some tourist behaves like a jerk, I really hope they aren't German (if only because my foreign partner would gleefully point it out to me!) . When I look at the result of the European elections and I see the voter turnout in Germany is rising, I think "well done us". Patriotism should just not be taken too seriously.
