What is the difference between Nationalist and Non-Nationalist?
           Nationalist Loyalties are the loyalties which are embedded in the notion of a nation. For example: Loyalties to your ethnic or civic nation. Non-Nationalist Loyalties are not embedded in the idea of a nation. For example: being loyal to your friends, family, sports team. However, it can be overlapped or can be argued that being loyal to friend is like being in a collective or some people call themselves a nation when they support a sport team. So, if there is singular loyalty it drops into Non-Nationalist category but if the there is a collective for one loyalty it falls in Nationalist category.
