Pride kept across the members of a nation: its parameters read as within a window where few other nations are, a reading each member takes as its own.

National pride (noun) means: Pride kept across the members of a nation: its parameters read as within a window where few other nations are, a reading each member takes as its own. It emerges from pride, collective self, belonging, keep: Pride's comparison is made for the group, and belonging lets each member hold the group's standing as its own, so members feel pride in things none of them did. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 19, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
