national loyalty
Allegiance to homeland
National loyalty is allegiance or devotion to one's country—a sense of commitment to its interests, values, or identity.
The phrase often appears in political contexts where such allegiance is questioned or tested: Her national loyalty was never in doubt.
It can describe genuine patriotic feeling or serve as a litmus test others impose: They questioned his national loyalty because of his foreign ties.
