Instead of gods, Nationalists ‘worship’ a nation – be it an ancient nation from old Earth or a new national identity that has only recently cropped up. The moral structure of a Nationalist ideoligion is based around the idea of a shared heritage, language, ethnicity, history, geography, or state. This ideoligion is for roleplaying societies that are more focused on a national identity than a religious or philosophical identity.
In addition to a generic Nationalism structure, where their nation of origin is randomly generated, this mod features five structures based on specific nations of origin, not unlike the variant religious structures included in the vanilla Ideology DLC. These are: American origin, Soviet origin, French origin, Taiwanese origin, and Sophian origin.

This mod also integrates with several other ideology mods to add styles to each of these five ‘Origin’ structures. None of these mods are required for the Nationalist mod to function, but they do provide a lot of high-quality textures to make the Origin structures feel more unique. Check these mods out!

Q&A
——-
Q: Why would anyone feel a nationalistic connection to a society that hasn’t existed for thousands of years?
A: Look at how people obsess over ancient Rome today and it’ll seem a lot more plausible. Whose to say that some cult won’t be modeling their society after the French or something in a few thousand years? There’s no telling what people will latch onto.
Q: Why isn’t MY favorite nation represented here?
A: There’s nearly 200 countries in the world, and countless smaller groups of people that could be considered ‘nations’ within them. I can’t hope to provide any kind of decent cover of that, and if I somehow did it would just bloat up your Structures screen. Instead, I mostly just chose a few nations that I could find good style mods on the workshop that represented them. If you want me to add your preferred nation to this mod, your best chance of me adding it is if you can link me to a really good style mod that represents your nation.
Q: Okay but still, Taiwan? That’s a pretty small nation to dedicate an entire structure to.
A: Taiwan #1!
Q: Why does the ‘American’ icon look like the Liberian flag?
A: Do you have any idea how hard it is to make those tiny little stars look good in the Rimworld art style?
