Patriotism

Quiet often, nationalism is firmly tied with patriotism. But there is still one main difference: apart from nationalism, patriotism is the highest loyalty towards state and it’s institutions, not a devotion to the nation[1]. In general speaking, patriotism refers to the prevalence of one particular nation and it’s interests over others in multicultural states[2].
