If a country needs to overly emphasise an ideal, that’s usually because that ideal doesn’t apply in that country (“Land of the free”, “Democratic people’s republic of …”).
If a person needs to subscribe to patriotism, it’s usually because they have never accomplished anything better in their life than being born in a specific place.
It’s a very common thing really. The better a country works and the less the country has to compensate for, the less patriotism there is. And of course vice versa.
I thought it was just a coincidence.
