If you go back in history you discover that there was no such thing as "country" or "nation". There were tribes, peoples, communities, empires, and city states. To this extent it is clear that the concept of the nation is a social construct. It is therefore irrational to love something that has no real substance.
Besides... as Samual Johnson once said: "patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundral"
