Answer:
National identity is a person's identity or sense of belonging to one state or to one nation.[1][2] It is the sense of "a nation as a cohesive whole, as represented by distinctive traditions, culture, and language."[3] National identity may refer to the subjective feeling one shares with a group of people about a nation, regardless of one's legal citizenship status.[4] National identity is viewed in psychological terms as "an awareness of difference", a "feeling and recognition of 'we' and 'they'".[5]
