When a character expresses a great deal of love and patriotism for their homeland when they're not native (by virtue of ethnicity or place of birth) to said homeland. The immigrant character may even display more fervor for their adopted country than those that were born and bred there. However, how common/acceptable this is varies by culture. Most countries in the world throughout almost all of recorded history have been what is now called "ethnic nationalist", which is unsurprising given most modern nations developed from tribal groups.note The very word nation comes from the Latin natio, whose meaning encompasses both race and birth. Meanwhile ethnic comes from ethnos, which in Greek denotes nation/ethnicity, the two concepts being identical, as they are in most cultures. However a few countries that have only been created comparatively recently - primarily Europe's New World colonies - have been argued by some to instead be constituted on the basis of "civic nationalism", a concept invented in the 19th century, in which belonging to a nation is determined by one's feeling of belonging to it, rather than by actual descent. This is not about immigrants in general, but specifically those who love their new homeland (more than their old one). Compare Foreign Culture Fetish for immigrants who admire other countries in more of a theme park version sort of way. See also "Rediscovering Roots" Trip, where the descendants of immigrants travel to their family's old country. Contrast Patriot in Exile, where an immigrant loves their old country despite being barred in various circumstances. |

Shigeo Okumura entered CMLL as part of an anti-Mexican unit and quickly became The Face of said unit, sticking around far longer than every other member in his efforts to prove Mexican inferiority. So long in fact that if seen without his ring gear he basically blends in with the Chilango community. After a Heel–Face Turn CMLL used him to represent their company or Mexico in general in promotions such as UIPW and Ring of Honor (on announcing his departure to the latter on Rudo Vision he sat in front of a sign that read "¡Viva Mexico!"). | |

Kazushige Nozawa achieved far more fame and success in Mexico than Japan, and he showed his appreciation while co-promoting shows with All Japan Pro Wrestling in 2007 by forming a stable of like-minded appreciates called "Los Mexico Amigos", each one taking up a Spanish name(TAKA Michinoku-PEPE Michinoku, Kaz Hayashi-Miguel Hayashi Jr, Nobutaka Araya-El Hijo del Araya Segundo) and wearing the Mexican flag on their gear. Eventually Minoru Suzuki(Ray Suzuki) entered the group for the purpose of kidnapping NOSAWA and putting an end to it(which could be interpreted as The Mole but more commonly was seen as Get A Hold Of Yourself Man) | |

Parodied in Bojack Horseman: The Nguyen family are Vietnamese immigrants who've culturally assimilated as American (specifically Bostonians) so hard they've literally forgotten they're immigrants and are even prejudiced against other immigrants. Pa is literally a lecturer of Vietnamese history but is so dedicated to his Boston identity that he refuses to teach his children anything about their heritage even when asked. | |

In Eagle Eye the American protagonists are being blackmailed into terrorism by a mysterious voice on a phone with an uncanny ability to arrange accidents. They are ordered to meet a man in a similar position, who yells at them for assuming his Iranian ancestry would make him more likely to betray his country, and refuses to help. The protagonists don't have time to explain the misunderstanding before he is killed by a falling power wire. | |

The Expanse: Fred Johnson is an Earther who is known as "The Butcher of Anderson Station" after he destroyed a space station full of Belters (Including their families) that rebelled against Inner control. What he didn't know at the time, and didn't discover until later, was that the Belters were trying to surrender but his superiors withheld that information because they wanted to make an example of them. Afterwards, Johnson defected to the Outer Planets Alliance and becomes one of the staunchest defenders of the Belt. He considers himself a citizen of the Belt, and always includes himself when talking about "us Belters". Travis was born on Earth, and his family emigrated to Mars when he was 5. When he grew up he joined the Martian Marine Corps. His squadmates often give him shit because he wasn't born on Mars, but he is as loyal to the red planet as any native and points out that his family chose Mars instead of just being born there. |

In the Honor Harrington series it's noted that many of the most dedicated loyalists to the Star Kingdom of Manticore are refugees (or the descendants of same) who fled the takeover of their home systems by the People's Republic of Haven. When the Star Kingdom becomes the Star Empire, the same sort of thing is seen among the planets who voluntarily join. Similarly, after a prison planet was liberated, freeing many POWs from worlds now conquered by Haven, the Protectorate of Grayson recruited enough of them to form a whole new battle squadron, The Protector's Own. |

After he helps The Squad foil a terrorist attack, Hetty calls in a judge to personally administer the Oath of Citizenship — which the young man recites from memory without any assistance. When he appears again six years later, he's joined NCIS. | |

Lane Pryce from Mad Men, despite being a stereotypical stiff-ass Brit, takes to America immediately for its outspoken character and relative lack of classism. He emphatically insists that his family put down roots in New York despite his wife's doubts, and decorates his office with a Statue of Liberty and a Mets pennant. That said, he does still defend Jaguar, celebrates England's win in the '66 World Cup, takes an active role in the British expatriate community, and always remains the Quintessential British Gentleman. | |

King of the Hill: Hank Hill is as proud of a Texan as a Texan can get, I tell you hwat. However, one episode has him discover — to his shock and horror — that he was actually born in New York, specifically in the women's bathroom at Yankee Stadium. His discomfort is put to rest by seeing the flags of other states hanging in the Alamo (none of the men who died at the Alamo, being among the original American settlers, were native Texans). Another episode has Kahn, a Laotian immigrant, note that his American-born neighbors probably couldn't recite all of the presidents, which he learned for his citizenship test. |

Seventh Endmost Vision: Tifa became this for Shinra. While Shinra isn't a country, it's damn close to being one, and in the War with the Western Alliance, Tifa explicitly fought against her former people in Shinra's service. The fact that Shinra didn't make any real distinctions about Tifa's Token Enemy Minority status, and the amazing benefits working for them provided — in particular her fame and wealth — seems to be what initially secured Tifa's loyalty. | |

Recurring character Esteban in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody is an immigrant from Peru who works as a bellboy at the Tipton Hotel in Boston. In "Boston Tea Party", Esteban is enthusiastic to take his citizenship test and become an American citizen, and proves to know more about his adopted country than London Tipton, a born American citizen (though to be fair, London is also The Ditz, so maybe not the best comparison). | |

"Truth, justice, and the American way." Despite not even being from Earth. It doesn't hurt that Krypton is often shown as having at least as many social problems as Earth before it exploded. He spends much of the New Krypton storyline wrestling with this. In more recent storylines and adaptations, he's more likely to identify as a protector of Earth than of America, but the same things apply. | |

The Presidio: Presumably added in to justify Sean Connery Not Even Bothering with the Accent, Lieutenant Colonel Caldwell (while quite sloshed), talks about how he moved to America with his father when he was ten, and fell in love with the country from the moment he saw the Statue of Liberty. He loved his new homeland so much, he joined the Army in order to protect her. | |

This is Ashrah's situation in Mortal Kombat 1. She's a former denizen of the Netherrealm who went on a demon-slaying crusade once she discovered how different Outworld and Earthrealm are to her native realm. After the events of Chapter 7 in the Story Mode, she settles on Earthrealm, first training at the Wu Shi Academy, then forming her own clan (the Order of Light), vowing to defend Earthrealm with her own life. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Over the course of the series, Sisko comes to love Bajor, even wearing Bajoran clothes on his off-hours and considering moving there after retiring. While Worf is obsessed with Klingon tradition—more even than most Klingons are—he is also completely loyal to the Federation to the point of fighting against the Klingon Empire. He also displays a great fondness for Earth, specifically Minsk, Belarus, where he grew up with his adopted parents. Guinan even notes in one episode that when he looks out Ten-Forward's windows into the stars, he's not looking towards the Klingon Empire, he's looking towards Earth. |

The landlady who tips the Secret Service off to the would-be Presidential assassin's plan in In the Line of Fire shows signs of this, declaring, "Thirty years I'm in this country. I love United States. Only in America can you get to go to President's house. So when I see this, these killing things (the numerous paraphernalia indicating the man's dastardly plan) I get scared. I call police." It's not clear where she's from originally, but her accent is vaguely Eastern European, and her age would indicate that she grew up during a severely repressive communist regime. | |

During a late season episode of Law & Order, a young Muslim immigrant helps police stop a Muslim terrorist cell planning a terrorist attack because he loves America and believes in the American Dream. However, when he testifies in court, he lies for the suspected terrorists, because they had information about him that could get him deported for a crime he committed in the past before he legally became a US citizen. In the end, he still testifies against them, knowing he might get deported because he believes it's the right thing to do for the country he loves. The episode ends with prosecuting attorney, Michael Cutter, looking over a loophole case file he can use to keep him from being deported. | |

The Futurama episode "A Taste of Freedom" starts on Freedom Day, which is the Fourth of July for the entire planet. Zoidberg eats "Old Freebie" the Earthican flag, which he meant to be a demonstration of the liberties Earth allows but gets put on trial for it. He winds up starting a war between Earth and his home planet of Decapod 10, and in the end picks Earth over the Decapodians because of the death of his human lawyer, one of the very few humans who was willing to stand up for him. At the conclusion, he muses that he wishes that they valued freedom as much on his home planet, before realising that Earth is his home planet now, and he is honoured at the White House by being given a free pass to take a bite of the flag by President Nixon, as he'd earned it. | |

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Oliver is unabashed about being English (to the point of being a Running Gag), but he firmly identifies himself with his American audience and (both on-air and in his personal life) has made it unstintingly clear that he intends to be naturalized (which he did in 2019), to spend the rest of his life in America, and that he basically considers himself already American. Whenever the US does something good, he clearly shows his pride; whenever he covers the US doing something awful (which, given that the show specializes in investigative journalism on serious problems, is fairly often), he exhibits the same embarrassment and shame that someone born in the US would. It probably helps that he married an American woman, Kate Norley, who happens to be a veteran of the Iraq War. | |

Game of Thrones: Varys is a Lysene immigrant who professes to be the only man who truly serves the kingdom itself rather than money, power, or any particular faction. His secret meeting with Daenerys' patron Illyrio in "The Wolf and the Lion" makes the truth of this somewhat ambiguous. He later explains to Daenerys Targaryen that his loyalty is not to any monarchs, but the people of Westeros itself and he pledges his allegiance to whoever he feels worthy enough to defend the people. | |

On Doctor Who, the Doctor begins to feel this way about Earth (in this case, Britain) after a bit. He apparently always had something of a Foreign Culture Fetish for the place, and after the Time Lords banished him there as their idea of an ironic punishment he becomes smitten with the planet, happily considering himself an Earth defender. Particularly highlighted in "The Claws of Axos" in which the story's Hate Sink is a right-wing politician with an anti-immigration philosophy who spends much of the story being needlessly suspicious of the Doctor for being what can euphemistically be described as 'foreign'. By "In The Forest of the Night", he openly regards the Earth as his real home. | |

Superman: "Truth, justice, and the American way." Despite not even being from Earth. It doesn't hurt that Krypton is often shown as having at least as many social problems as Earth before it exploded. He spends much of the New Krypton storyline wrestling with this. In more recent storylines and adaptations, he's more likely to identify as a protector of Earth than of America, but the same things apply. In Superman: Red Son he lands in the USSR rather than Kansas and becomes their (second) Man of Steel. He's still more idealistic than befits a Soviet icon, however, abruptly leaving ceremonies because he hears comrades in danger miles away. |

Final Score (1986): The protagonist, Richard, is an American ex-Vietnam vet who married an Indonesian woman, and chose to stay in Jakarta and raise a family there. Partway through the film, there's a scene where his American-Indonesian son asks him why he chose not to go back to the States, only for Richard to express how much he loved Indonesia and never missed life in the States at all. Of course, the fact that the film is produced by an Indonesian company might be a factor... | |

Goku develops this after learning he's an alien in Dragon Ball Z. He's horrified that he comes from a race of planet-stripping mercenaries but comes around after hearing how Freeza manipulated them.
