Nationball may also be used to represent a type of "Pan-Separatist Nationalism" which believes that the nation-states are a good within itself and every nation should have it's own nation-state, under this interpretation he might be also called '''Souverainismball '''or '''Sovereigntyball'''.
[[File:Nation.png]] {{BoldText|Nationalism}} is any ideology, idea, or movement, which holds that the nation should be congruent with the state, or any other sovereign polity / government for that matter.


== Personality ==
The most important element of nationalism is the aim to create or maintain national sovereignty and self-determination over the nation's homeland, usually through the creation of a nation-state. National self-determination is a core component of nationalism, which holds that nations should govern themselves without outside interference.  
Nationball is very patriotic and proud of what country has done, especially military achievements. He loves competitive sports between countries.


== How to Draw ==
Nationalism is especially concerned with the interests of a particular, usually its own, nation. The most primary of those interests are always the aforementioned national sovereignty and self-determination, more extreme forms of nationalism (known as [[File:Ultranat.png]] [[Ultranationalism|Chauvinism]]) however, place the interests of their nation (incl. welfare) over those of all others, which can result in the suppression, exploitation, or [[File:Colonial.png]] [[Colonialism|colonization]] of other nations in order to serve the interests of its own nation. Completely opposed to the idea of exploiting other nations is [[File:Uninat.png]] [[Universal Nationalism]], which holds that all nations are equal, and all nations equally deserve to a right to self-determination as well as national sovereignty over their homelands.
# Draw a ball with eyes
# Make it Orange
# Draw a black silhouette of a waving flag


== Relationships ==
Nationalism holds that the nation is the natural and ideal basis for a polity, and thus that the nation is the only legitimate source of political power.

A core component of any Nationalist movement is the definition of the nation, the most common form of nationalism, especially in Europe and by most [[File:Native.png]] [[Indigenism|indigenous peoples]], is [[File:Volknat.png]] [[Volkish Nationalism]].

== {{Bold|Beliefs}} ==
 
Nationalism holds that the nation and state, or other sovereign polity, should be congruent and thus sovereign. It also holds that the nation is the only rightful source of political power.
 
=== {{Bold|Definition of the nation}} ===
A core component of any Nationalist movement is answering the question on how the nation should be defined. One of the most common national definitions, particularly in Europe and by [[File:Native.png]] [[Indigenism|indigenous peoples]], is [[File:Volknat.png]] [[Volkish Nationalism]], which usually combines ethnicity, culture, and linguistics; into what it sees as 'a people' or 'folk' (German: Volk) that is more or less synonymous with the term 'nation'.
 
Other variants of Nationalism also exist, these include, but are not limited to, defining the nation by exclusively [[File:Ethnat.png]] [[Ethnic Nationalism|ethnicity]], [[File:Culnat.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism|culture]], [[File:Lingnat.png]] [[Linguistic Nationalism|language]], [[File:RelNat.png]] [[Religious Nationalism|religious affiliation]], or various definitions of the term [[File:Racenat.png]] [[Racial Nationalism|'race']].
 
Another definition of the nation, which has gained some momentum in the west lately, despite being discredited by the majority of other nationalists, is the idea that a nation can be defined through the state, and that the membership of the nation comes along with the membership of the state (citizenship). Since it is rooted in the state, this form of nationalism, called [[File:Civnat.png]] [[Civic Nationalism]], also requires affiliation with the state, and thus the recognition of its authority as well as the adoption of its values, which are usually [[File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism|liberal]] in nature, hence the alternative name of 'Liberal Nationalism'.
 
=== {{Bold|Aspects of Nationalism}} ===
The primarily goals of any kind of nationalist ideology are as follows:
#The creation and maintenance of the nation-state; thus ensuring sovereignty and self-determination for the nation.<ref group="n">This means that the nation should be congruent with the state. It doesn't necessarily have to be a state, though in the vast majority of cases it is, other kinds of self-administering communities/polities can also be strived for.</ref>
#The definition of the nation — most important stepping stone in every nationalist movement.
#Welfare and happiness of the nation, that means also putting members of the nation first.<ref group="n">Caring for members of the nation, this is why some claim Nationalism to be inherently anti-capitalist.</ref>
Nationalists also vary on the issue of nationhood. Depending on the definition of the nation used by the nationalist and their philosophical outlook, the nation is either synonymous with the group (for instance in the case of [[File:Ethnat.png]] [[Ethnic Nationalism]], it would claim that ethnicity = nation), or the nationalist movement seeks to construct a nation through political and identity means (nation-building), viewing the group they would define the nation by simply as the prerequisite for a nation which would have to be built by political means of a nationalist movement in order to create a true collective sense of nationhood.
 
=={{Bold|Variants}}==
===[[File:Revnat.png]] {{Bold|Revolutionary Nationalism}} ===
 
The [[File:Revnat.png]] {{BoldText|Revolutionary Nationalism}} is a [[File:Syncretic.png]] [[:Category:Syncretic|syncretic]] stream of [[File:Nation.png]] Nationalism that aims to achieve its goals through a [[File:Revolution.png]] revolution. It encompasses ideologies from both left and right perspectives, seeking a nationalist revolution or aiming to establish nationalist objectives through a revolution. [[File:Revnat.png]] {{BoldText|Revolutionary Nationalism}} can be associated with left, right, or [[File:3P.png]] [[:Category:Third Position|Third Position]] ideologies.
 
===[[File:RomanticNationalism.png]] {{Bold|Romantic Nationalism}} [[File:RomanticNat.png]]===
[[File:RomanticNationalism.png]] '''Romantic Nationalism''' [[File:RomanticNat.png]] is a cultural and political movement that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, primarily in Europe. At its core, it emphasizes the connection between a nation's identity and its cultural heritage, often glorifying the nation's history, traditions, language, and folklore.
 
Rather than viewing a nation merely as a political entity, romantic nationalists sought to imbue it with a sense of spiritual and emotional significance, often rooted in myth, legend, and shared cultural experiences. They believed that the unique character of each nation was derived from its cultural distinctiveness and historical narrative.
 
Romantic nationalists often idealized the past, portraying it as a golden age of cultural purity and authenticity, which they contrasted with the perceived threats of modernity and globalization. They celebrated national heroes, folklore, and traditions, using these elements to foster a sense of unity and pride among the people.
 
Moreover, [[File:RomanticNationalism.png]] '''Romantic Nationalism''' [[File:RomanticNat.png]] frequently intersected with other cultural movements, such as the romantic literary movement, which emphasized individual emotion, imagination, and creativity. This connection often manifested in literature, music, and art, where artists and intellectuals sought to express and cultivate national identity through their works.
 
Politically, [[File:RomanticNationalism.png]] '''Romantic Nationalism''' [[File:RomanticNat.png]] played a significant role in the rise of nation-states and independence movements across Europe during the 19th century. It provided a powerful ideological framework for those seeking self-determination and autonomy from colonial powers or multinational empires.
 
===[[File:AmericanNat.png]] {{Bold|American Nationalism}}===
'''American Nationalism''' is a form of civic, ethnic, cultural or economic influences found in the United States Essentially, it indicates the aspects that characterize and distinguish the United States as an autonomous political community. The term often serves to explain efforts to reinforce its national identity and self-determination within their national and international affairs. It's variants include cultural nationalism and that the American identity is an integral element of American society, civic nationalism, which is built off of freedom and individual rights, and trumpism, which is based off of the former president Donald J. Trump.
 
===[[File:AntiColNat.png]] {{Bold|Anti-Colonial Nationalism}}===
<blockquote>''See also: [[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism]] and [[File:Uninat.png]] [[Universal Nationalism]]''</blockquote>
 
'''Anti-Colonial Nationalism''' is a form of nationalism that focuses on decolonization and anti-imperialism. Because of colonialism’s creation of state and country lines across ethnic, religious, linguistic and other historical boundaries, anti-colonial nationalism is largely related to land first. After independence, especially in countries with particularly diverse populations with historic enmity, there have been a series of smaller independence movements that are also defined by anti-colonialism.
