8. Territorial Nationalism

As has been mentioned already, some nationalists will exclude certain groups based upon demographics such as race, religions, and cultures. These people might then be deemed to not truly be members of that nation, and belong instead to the nation from which their ancestry lies.

It is the notion that all of the population owe a duty to the country in which they were born, or that they have adopted. They are expected to share the common values of the rest of the populous and also get involved with traditions and pop culture. One example of this is people being expected to sing the national anthem, especially if they are not considered to belong to a native ethnicity.
