Nationalism

If it were an SAT question you would see Racism : Race :: Nationalism : Nationality. It is the belief that one nation is superior and others inferior, which is the same as racism just with race in the place of nation.

That's also why nationalism (not simply patriotism or love of one's own country) tends towards the illiberal, contesting or outright rejecting the premise of universal human rights. 

Offhand I cannot think of an historical exception to this tendency. Guess it depends on how you gloss "superiority." 

I'm open to correction if someone can supply counter-examples.
