Nature disagrees with you.

So Libya and Germany are equivalents. No difference?

That's partly true, but I must agree with @HODL in the idea of pride, although not necessarily related to a political boundary. A nation is also an identity around culture, language, tradition, and whatever makes us feel a group. Some nations don't have a State, and have equally strong feelings (Catalonia, Kurdistan, Palestine, Valonia, Flanders, etc)
