The first is the seemingly irrational belief some people hold that they come from the best nation on Earth. They can't all be right. What is the objective, quantifiable property by which the relative value of two nations can be measured?
i think it's rather that they think they're better than neighbouring nations, due to historical conflicts they've ended up having "issues" with various outside groups... a nation is often only defined when threatened by external peoples ...
