Patriotism is an emotional attachment to one's perceived people(s) and homeland(s), though people have used the word differently over time and in various contexts. In the twentieth century it was also understood as devotion to one's nation(-state). How patriotism is portrayed in fiction oscillates between two poles, both of which stand on opposite sides of Individualism vs. Collectivism. Patriotism is Good A patriot cares for their people over their people's nation: they treasure their people, but would never do evil in their name if it could be helped. Individual people have personalities and worth of their own; nations don't. Nations are just groupings of peoples, communities, and cultures, like paintings on a wall. Nations aren't worthy of love or devotion without the context of the people and communities that compose them. Their 'patriotism' comes from a love of their people and way of life, as well as a deep concern for their welfare. They want their people to be prosperous and happy, and if push comes to shove, they will gladly sacrifice their nation's prestige to ensure that they are. They hate war and are otherwise reluctant to fight because they care about their people's wellbeing and want to minimize the harm done to them, even if that means waging war. This tends to be mostly seen as a Forgotten Trope in modern media, though it fluctuates depending on the time period and place. It still pops up occasionally (often subverting nationalist ideas of what makes someone patriotic, à la A Few Good Men, or the other attributes associated with patriotism, à la Forrest Gump). My Country, Right or Wrong usually tends to fall under here. Patriotism is Bad A patriot cares for their nation over their nation's people: they prize their loyalty to their nation above all else, and would do absolutely anything for it (however reluctantly or gladly). Nations have characteristics and worth of their own; individual people don't. Individual people, communities, and cultures are just disposable, unremarkable components of the nation, like the cells of a body. They aren't worthy of love and devotion like the nation is. Their "patriotism" comes from a devotion to their nation and its power, and a deep concern for its prestige at the expense of their own countrymen. They want their nation to be powerful and respected, and if push comes to shove, they will gladly sacrifice their nation's people to ensure that it has them. They love war because they care about their nation's power and image and want to enhance them by any means, especially if that means waging war. This is a common trope in modern media thanks to the apotheosis of nationalism in the twentieth century and the enduring strength of nationalism to this day. It is usually played straight and embodied by such characters as the Sociopathic Soldier, Colonel Kilgore, or General Ripper. They are often a Tautological Templar who believes that the actions of their country are justified by virtue of being their country. Patriotism is Good and Bad Every now and then you get a mix, where the blowhard is genuinely loyal and commendable, despite his enthusiasm for wars with other peoples — though genocidal warmongers don't tend to feature in this category. On the other hand, the various strains of nationalism tend to lead writers to portray patriotism towards a certain state (i.e. their own) as good while patriotism towards all others is bad. When done right, it can be respectful of other patriotisms and nationalism while providing a more nuanced take of the concept. Done poorly, however, this can also be a source of Misplaced Nationalism and Flame Bait. This basically becomes the Sliding Scale of Patriotism vs Jingoism. These poles can and often do reflect the personal political philosophy of the writer (and, contrary to what the stereotypes would have one believe, being right-wing does not necessarily make one more jingoistic, nor does being left-wing necessarily make one less patriotic). We can observe, though, that there are sometimes direct relationships between the popularity of a war and the number of noble or oafish patriots portrayed, which leads to the idea that the trope is cyclic. The writer may just be putting up a character in response to the mood of the public. Of course, films like Lions for Lambs, which lambaste the war they portray and yet were massive flops at the box office, provide a big counterpoint to that theory. Regardless of the motives, the Super Patriot is often a General Ripper or the Hero of Another Story. Captain Geographic often is like this. It should be pointed out that this is far from being mainly an American idea, however, different cultures have different attitudes toward it. For example in British television, or in fact most other British media published after 1918, Patriotic Fervor is pretty much always an unsympathetic trait, usually played for laughs. (British media produced before 1918, on the other hand, do exactly the opposite.) Where the line is drawn between regular patriotism and fervor is also very different; what most Americans would consider normal patriotism would be seen as jingoism among most Germans, for example. See Misplaced Nationalism for the internet equivalent. See My Country, Right or Wrong for when someone allows Patriotic Fervor to convince themselves that aiding an evil leader is their "duty". See My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting for artists who criticize their own country. Expect a Flag Drop if a character with this makes a speech. See also Propaganda Piece. |

Sunrider has Kryska Stares, a Solar Alliance liaison officer who will gladly extol the Alliance’s virtues and achievements to the Sunrider’s mostly Neutral Rim crew. Her fervor is Justified, as she grew up in poverty on a Neutral Rim planet with a corrupt government and her living situation was drastically improved when the Alliance liberated her world. While a good person, Kryska’s devotion to the Alliance’s principles blinds her to the fact that her superiors are willing to do some shady things in order to win the war with PACT, and when Kayto tells her that some Neutral Rim worlds (like his own) would prefer to keep their independence even if it would benefit them to join the Alliance, she can’t seem to wrap her head around his argument. | |

While travelling through Bohemia in Darklands, your party may encounter a group of Hussite rebels. When they identify your heroes as ethnic Germans, things may get very violent very soon, although, typically for the game, there are several options to avoid bloodshed if you can use certain skills or a saintly intervention. | |

Doctor Spectrum has a near-genocidal hatred of all alien life, applying Manifest Destiny to space exploration by subjugating every other race and exterminating any that won't fall in line. Hyperion and Power Princess similarly committed a near-genocide of all the mutants. | |

Masakado for Shin Megami Tensei. He once was a samurai warlord who tried to overthrow the Emperor, and after his death, his spirit and devotion to the people proved so strong, he became a benevolent protector deity for the Tokyo area.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run has the Big Bad President Funny Valentine, who is at least a competent enough politician to keep most of his citizens happy. However, he's willing to resort to Dirty Business to obtain Jesus's corpse and turn his country into a utopia while dooming the rest of the planet to extreme misfortune. The reason he goes so far is because he wants to live up to his father, who died while resisting all kinds of torture for his country. | |

RWBY: Given her view of Atlas's superiority, Cordovin notes the latter is extending their hand and superior technology towards the other nations. Thus, she has a beef against anything she believes is un-Atlesian like Faunus, and views any negative traits as a mockery of her kingdom's military honour and prowess as shown when she dismisses Weiss's perception of Ironwood's "worry". | |

The second film in the Rambo series is this trope. The third film. Only then it's Afghani patriotism rather than American. Considering that Rambo pretty much disowns America at the end of the second film because he's disgusted by the government's attempt to cover up Vietnam still holding American POWs, this trope may not apply to the Rambo films. |

Being about the Revolutionary War, nearly every character in the musical 1776 is an ardent patriot. An honorable mention, however, goes to Caeser Rodney, who came back to Philadelphia to vote while dying of cancer and shouted down everyone who disagreed with the war. Richard Henry Lee's song 'The Lees of Old Virginia' is a tribute both to his family and to the state of Virginia, at a time when states were more like small countries. |

The difference in US and UK perceptions of apparent Patriotic Fervor is the reason why Captain Britain is pretty much unheard of in his 'home' country, considered equal parts sad and hilarious when people know he exists. Though this is likely due to the fact that his design (a strapping great big muscular guy emblazoned with the Union Flag) caters far more to the American tastes of what constitutes a hero. Brits far prefer their heroes a little more Byronic, cynical and witty — which is why home-grown James Bond and Sherlock Holmes have always been so well received and are the UK's counterpart of patriotic characters. | |

Attack on Titan explores the dangers of when love for your country is used to justify atrocities and violent nationalism. After the Time Skip, Eren has become the central figure of a nationalistic movement that seeks to re-establish the ancient Eldian Empire. Members of this movement begin to conspire against their own government, leaking partial information to the public to turn them against the military and even assassinating Commander Darius Zackley. The group includes more than one Sociopathic Soldier, who believe the past conflicts with the Warriors justifies them trying to burn down the Liberio ghetto. The main cast is horrified to watch Eren and his followers sliding deeper and deeper into fanaticism. | |

Discworld: In Jingo the nobles of Ankh-Morpork have an army consisting of officers with no experience leading troops with no training, yet they expect it to take no more than a day to defeat an army several times larger with years of experience. There's also little old ladies who try to shame the city's police officers for not abandoning their posts to join the army. The set-up is more than slightly reminiscent of the popular image of World War I. The book takes its name from the rhyme (quoted in the book itself) that gave us the word "jingoism". Reg Shoe. In fact, when he actually GETS involved in a Revolution (in which nobody pays any attention to him), in the final battle that is the climax of Night Watch Discworld, Reg Shoe is killed by several crossbow bolts. His revolutionary fervor is so great that this doesn't stop him, and he only gets more enthusiastic as a zombie. |

Fallout: New Vegas has Dr. Borous of the Old World Blues DLC, who similiar to Liberty Prime has a psychotic hatred of communists. In his case, however, it seems to be a mask for his petty hatred of a high school bully and a girl who rejected him. | |

Scandinavia and the World: Inverted with modern-day Germany, who's afraid to wave his flag too much for fear of his people becoming too prideful (because bad things happen), and even freaked out when he realized his shirt was a flag. This is played straight with the main Scandinavian trio, though, since they see the flags as a symbol of joy and happiness, and like waving them around for their birthdays. Or in this case Germany's. Taken to extremes with America, who has been shown to distrust every single other country. Even his own hat. |

The 3rd Rock from the Sun episode "Red, White, & Dick" centered on the aliens discovering patriotism. In an effort to be as American as possible, Sally, Tommy, and Harry looked over the Declaration of Independence. They latched onto the phrase "all men are created equal" and ended up creating a Does This Remind You of Anything? version of Commie Land. Meanwhile, Dick discovered that he was Canadian in his phony Earth identity and took the citizenship test (which is weird, since he was able to register to vote in the earlier episode "Dick the Vote"). | |

In Jingo the nobles of Ankh-Morpork have an army consisting of officers with no experience leading troops with no training, yet they expect it to take no more than a day to defeat an army several times larger with years of experience. There's also little old ladies who try to shame the city's police officers for not abandoning their posts to join the army. The set-up is more than slightly reminiscent of the popular image of World War I. The book takes its name from the rhyme (quoted in the book itself) that gave us the word "jingoism". | |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is centered around two of these, and which one is good and which one is bad depends on how you look at it. The most obvious one is the Stormcloak rebellion with the battle cry "Skyrim belongs to the Nords". It's good if you believe that the Third Empire they're a part of has let them down and they're just standing up for themselves, or bad if they're whining about nothing and being more than a little racist to match the pigheadedness. The Imperial Legion and their allies in Skyrim are less overt, but they're still on the side of the Third Empire. Either they're trying to look out for the best interests of every part of the Empire as best they can or they're pushovers forcing their ideas onto an unwilling part of the nation. Rugged patriots vs imperialist wimps or whiny racists vs practical diplomats? YOU MAKE THE CALL! | |

Played with in the case of Ulysses of Fallout: New Vegas. In the Old World Blues DLC, you can hear him speak of how he still believes in America despite having been wiped out two centuries ago and his most distinctive physical trait is his jacket with the Fallout setting's version of the stars and stripes. In Lonesome Road however, it's shown that he has a disdain for all the major factions of the Mojave and plans to wipe them out using the nukes of The Divide. Nonetheless, it seems that while he is a devoted patriot, he has no "homeland" to devote himself to, having long since deserted Caesar's Legion and having his would-be home ending up destroyed by the unwitting hands of the Courier. | |

Downplayed in Turning Red. While Mei doesn't explicitly mention her love for Canada, she wears a maple-leaf shirt to bed, wears a tuque with a maple-leaf design to school (and in the Novelization notes that "tuques were very Canadian"), has a Canadian flag pin button on her bag and has a Canadian flag sticker on her flute case. Also, in the novelization, in order to remain calm, she tries to channel Canada's monarch at the time, Queen Elizabeth II, minus the accent. | |

Analog: The July 1942 issue, which came out during the American Independence Day and World War II, has an American flag over the cover, with the New York City skyline underneath it and an advertisement for buying war bonds. This was coordinated with many other magazines to feature the same cover. The "Buy war bonds for victory" stamp would show up on several later covers that year, too. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: The First Avenger: Puts less emphasis on Steve being a super-patriot and more on him being The Cape. He just wants to help people, and the costume and Hitler-punching persona is cooked up by a Propaganda Machine he'd be a lot happier without. The signs pointing to Steve's patriotism are mostly subtle, the most obvious one being his willingness to serve his country by any means, including the aforementioned propaganda. On the other hand, it's also mentioned that the Captain America persona did eventually grow on him. He also buys very heavily into the fixation with being the underdog that shows up a lot in American patriotism, so it's debatable. | |

Aleksandra "Zarya" Zaryanova of Overwatch. On one hand, she will gladly drop out of a world-class bodybuilding competition, forgoing the potential fame and riches to fight against rogue Omnics on the front lines for her country. On the other hand, much like her country as a whole, she is particularly racist towards Omnics in general- even cyborgs who have human elements like Genji, and Zenyatta who wants nothing more than peaceful human-Omnic relations. | |

Major Frank Burns on M*A*S*H was the quintessence of this trope. He had religious arrogance in the movie as well. Colonel Flagg (U.S. Army Counter-Intelligence Division), embodies a jingoistic, paranoid, "Americans are God" straw patriotism that is both funny and deeply disturbing at the same time. During The '50s it would not have been entirely unrealistic or entirely Straw to find Flagg-like individuals in such a role. And in several other decades as well. And in Real Life they're even more disturbing. In contrast, Colonel Potter's patriotism is unquestionable, serious, and very downplayed. It's also proven by the fact he's on his third war, and still faithfully serving despite being old enough to have retired. |

Nowadays, Superman finds the addition to be a bit ridiculous since the Justice League is a global organization. As his popularity implodes and the Justice League's popularity rises, Homelander invokes this to a ridiculous degree, claiming the Justice League doesn't serve America's interests just because they come from another universe. |

Code Geass switches it up depending on the character and which nation they're loyal to. Brittanians, by and large, are composed almost entirely of jingoistic imperialists whereas the Japanese are mostly portrayed as freedom fighters. However, they do occasionally mix and match each group's ideals. For example, Brittania seems to not have much of an issue with racism (the clearly Indian-descended Villetta is staunchly proud of her Brittanian nationality), and there are several examples of the pro-Japanese movement being highly exclusionary even to Japanese-sympathetic Brittanian forces. | |

Thracians in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War are all fervently devoted to their country. Even when encountering Thracian commanders in the first half, where they are working as mercenaries, their last words are always dedicated to their homeland. Although their dracoknights are The Dreaded wherever they're hired, it's made clear that the Thracians are trying to help their impovrished, barren homeland by hiring themselves out. When the battlefield does move to Thracia, several characters lament that it's come to that because they sympathize with the Thracians' desperation and sense of duty to their homeland. Even Travant, The Unfettered king, is portrayed as doing the despicable things he does solely for the sake of his people rather than personal aggrandizement. | |

Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors (1945), the first feature-length anime ever made, is a rah-rah wartime propaganda piece in which cuddly animals become paratroopers in the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was a sequel to short film Momotaro's Sea Eagles, in which cuddly animal IJN pilots blow the hell out of Pearl Harbor. | |

A depressing variant occurs in When the Wind Blows, a story about an elderly couple struggling to survive World War III after the Cold War turned hot. Both were children during World War II and remember it with rose-tinted glasses as a result, with the husband Jim thinking War Is Glorious and having the utmost faith that the British government would save the day again. Even after the nuke finally drops, they fail to realize Everybody's Dead, Dave and never give up hope that the government would come save them, not realizing it no longer exists. The story doesn't criticize patriotism as a whole, only blind faith in authority. | |

Army is a very subtle example. It was commissioned in 1944 by the Imperial Japanese Army as a pro-army, Patriotism Is Good film. But director Keisuke Kinoshita was an anti-war liberal, so he snuck in a subtle Patriotism Is Bad message. Sometimes, it's subtle, like when two Armchair Military idiots have a ridiculous argument over whether the Mongols could have conquered Japan 650 years earlier—one gets very angry when the other suggests that, well, they could have. At other times the Patriotism Is Bad message is more overt and dramatic, like when a panicking, sobbing mother tries to fight her way through a cheering crowd to get one last look at her marching son before he goes off to war. | |

The Deltas deploy this in Animal House in order to deflect attention from the (accurate) charge that they supplied their underage pledges with alcoholic beverages and date-raped their female guests at a toga party. Eric Stratton argues that it's unfair to railroad the entire Delta fraternity because of the actions of a few bad apples. After all, one might as well scapegoat institutions of higher learning in general for allowing such organizations to exist at all -- and, by extension, one might also condemn the United States of America for mismanaging its national educational system. And how dare you! That's unpatriotic! They then leave the room humming the national anthem. | |

My World… and Welcome to It: Negatively played with in "Rally Round the Flag." John has no clue what sort of gift a girl Lydia's age would like for Christmas (his wife normally does the shopping), so he settles on buying a large American flag. Lydia is surprised and disappointed when she opens the present, but decides not to make a fuss about it. She makes the best of things by conspicuously flying the huge flag outside her window, which gets their neighbors in an uproar. The Monroes become the source of intense gossip from townsfolk thinking John and his family have something to hide. Several of John's neighbors cancel their subscriptions to The Manhattanite over this issue. John also gets visited by a group of Revolutionary War battle descendants who pressure him to take the flag down because he's neither a war veteran nor a member of their organization — that he's in fact the only person with a flag up, doing so during a time of year they see as inappropriate. Or as the battle descendants puts it, "Our view is unity in the community, everybody pulling together as a team," and "You're making the rest of us look unpatriotic," and "You're out of line, Monroe — you ought to get in step with the rest of us," and "This is a fine neighborhood, Monroe — love it or leave it." By the end of the episode, the rest of the neighbors have come around to John's way of thinking and are flying flags of their own. | |

Played with in The Rock. That line about watering the Tree of Liberty with blood is one of the reasons the author of the Declaration of Independence may be seen as a bit of a jerkass — it could be used to justify things like the French Terror. The same line has also been used as justification by terrorists, racists, and assorted unpleasant characters up to modern times. Timothy McVeigh was known to wear a tee-shirt with the quote on it. |

Doctor Who: Yvonne Hartman from "Army of Ghosts"/"Doomsday" is a patriotic servant of the British Empire ("There isn't a British Empire!" "Not yet."), and as a result she runs the rather shady Torchwood Institute, which kills and robs aliens coming to Earth in order to get their technology, even accidentally allowing two separate alien invasions. At the same time, her patriotic fervour allows her to retain her own identity after being Cyberconverted, with her eventually making a Heroic Sacrifice. "The Vampires of Venice": Isabella and her father Guido both attempt to intimidate the enemy with patriotic proclamations of being Venetian. |

The New Order Last Days Of Europe: Any country defined as "Ultranationalist" in ideology is Patriotism is Bad taken to the most ugly and destructive extremes. It is described as a blend of rabid militarism and veneration of the nation above all else, with stratification and racism blended into everyday life. Ultranationalist countries usually make military service mandatory and plot revenge against perceived enemies. The best example is the All-Russian Black League, a Russian warlord state comprised of General Rippers and War Hawks aiming to reunite Russia and prepare it for the Great Trial, a final genocidal showdown with Nazi Germany that will see nuclear and chemical weapons employed en masse, with their showdown resulting in The End of the World as We Know It. Many of the Black League's leadership are well aware their insane plan will destroy the world, and in fact their vision of the Great Trial hinges on it. | |

He gives off this vibe, but only makes a couple of quotes about being a man and nothing about being an American. He has an American flag tattoo to mirror patches worn on soldier uniforms, and his backstory is all about finding a missing friend from the military, as opposed to Zangief who usually fights FOR RUSSIA. |

Mobile Fighter G Gundam, being powered by the Captain Ethnic trope, has a few of these. Chibodee Crockett is a one-man Eagle Land who sees himself as a personification of the American Dream. He wants to win the Gundam Fight to prove to all the downtrodden Americans stuck on Earth that they can make it too, and seeing Americans use cheap underhanded tactics is a Berserk Button for him. George de Sand is a French knight in SPACE. His motivation for fighting (apart from the fight itself) is to bring honor and glory to France, he's dedicated himself to Princess Marie-Louise, and his family takes pride in still living on French soil rather than Neo-France's space colony. |

Frasier's upstairs neighbor and Sitcom Arch-Nemesis Cam Winston exploits this by hanging a giant American flag off his terrace which completely obscures the view from Frasier's apartment. When Frasier tries to go to the tenants board to have it taken down the board refuses and accuses him of being un-American for it. Cam prompts the board into singing the national anthem, and then quietly cuts a deal with Frasier to take the flag down in exchange for switching parking spaces. | |

While good ol' Captain America was originally conceived as essentially propaganda, over the years he's been developed and deconstructed in enough ways to remain sympathetic to foreigners and internationalists. Many of his contemporary counterparts like the U.S. Agent tend to represent the more extreme side of this trope. | |

The Muppets: Sam Eagle is a parody version of this. He has been Flanderized over the years from being a stick in the mud culture snob who happens to be patriotic (he is an American Eagle, after all) to full-on obsessed with America. Examples include: Muppet*Vision 3D: Sam is the one who orchestrates the "A Salute to All Nations, but Mostly America" presentation. The Muppet Christmas Carol: Parodied even further when Sam, who is playing a 19th-century British headmaster, starts to say, "It is the American Way", before getting nudged by Gonzo/Charles Dickens. Sam corrects himself: "It is the British way." |
