Now imagine that some members of your family really love your house and think it's the best house in the world. They feel very proud of your family and your house, and they want to make sure that everyone else knows how great your family and your house are.
This is kind of like Macedonian nationalism! The people who believe in Macedonian nationalism really love their country, Macedonia. They think that Macedonia is the best country in the world, and they want to make sure that everyone else knows how great it is.
