The US Americans have the first place, Australia the third, Canada the sixth, New Zealand the eigth, and Great (great?) Britain the 19th. Last of all nations, of course, comes Germany ("Germany, Germany, below all..."). In a breakdown for different subpopulations, nearly always the majority subpopulations are prouder than the minorities. One interesting reversal: Maori are prouder than the majority population in New Zealand.

Of course, there have been surprises: Why is Venezuela of all countries tied with the USA for the first place? Why are two very rich European countries (Norway, Switserland) at quite low positions below some poor European countries?

The authors' explanation for Germany's low position: war guilt that has been shown to suppress German national pride in the past is still operating. But if that's true why is Austria at fourth rank? Oh I see they have been victims in that war...
