If we are doing appeals to authority, let's do the hig one. From
Encyclopedia Britannica

"patriotism, feeling of attachment and commitment to a country, nation, or political community. Patriotism (love of country) and nationalism (loyalty to one’s nation) are often taken to be synonymous, yet patriotism has its origins some 2,000 years prior to the rise of nationalism in the 19th century"

Or better still, let's look at another way. What word means "a feeling of attachment and commitment to a country" without the feeling of superiority that nationalism brings about?
