As I mentioned earlier, a country is made up by it's people, so I could see how some could take ownership in that.
IE, Canada's record in peacekeeping makes me proud. I'm not a peacekeeper myself, but I support the ideals of it and work to achieve peace and tolerance in my own ways, therefore I feel it's fair to me to feel some pride in that.
