No, no, no; the political unit is nothing. The People is everything.
Insofar as Slovakia is a government and a set of institutions, it's just another player in the War of All Against All at the nation state level. It could be Russia or the US or Burkina Faso. They are all fungibles.
Insofar as Slovakia is "the land of the Slovaks," it's a referent to a clan of sloping-foreheaded white trash back to which I can trace 25% of my DNA. That is what is sacred.
The reason I don't root for the USA is it is only a political entity. The class of people who are Americans is the global population who believe in the single foundational truth of America, the only statement in any formal document that has value:
That's America, and no country points to it. Only people point to it, wherever they happen to be. There is no American ethnicity -- that's what the traitors will never understand. They think they are Americans because they were born here, but they aren't, because the American people is a matter of mind, not blood.
If there was a hockey team that represented the American people I'd root for it, but there cannot be because America isn't a nation state. It's the "last, greatest hope of mankind." The closest there is to an American hockey team is the Left.
