* Being about the Revolutionary War, nearly every character in the musical ''Theatre/{{1776}}'' is an ardent patriot. An honorable mention, however, goes to Caeser Rodney, who came back to Philadelphia to vote while dying of cancer and shouted down everyone who disagreed with the war.

* Jim the 'gentleman caller' in ''Theatre/TheGlassMenagerie'', expresses his love for the many wonders of life in America... During ''TheGreatDepression'' He's portrayed as [[NiceGuy likable]], but [[WideEyedIdealist foolishly idealistic]] for his beliefs.

* [[WideEyedIdealist Jim]] the 'gentleman caller' in ''Theatre/TheGlassMenagerie'', expresses his love for the many wonders of life in America... During ''TheGreatDepression''.

* "Red White and Blue" by Music/JudasPriest plays with the trope: Aside from the band saying the content is tongue in cheek, the lyrics are kept deliberately vague, and the only thing identifying what country it's supposed to be supporting is repeated mentions of a red, white and blue flag: Listeners from the band's native England would be thinking of the Union Jack, but many other countries have red, white and blue flags, including the United States, Puerto Rico and Cuba. The ending of the song is an instrumental quote of "God Save The Queen", the national anthem of the United Kingdom, but even that might be deliberately ambiguous - the American patriotic song "America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)" uses the same melody.

"Your white flag does not stop American bullets." (Dominating the Spy, presumably [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys French]])

* The BigBad of ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' -- [[DarkMessiah Prophet Zachary Comstock]] -- drives [[FloatingContinent the rogue floating city of Columbia]] with a twisted exaggeration of American hyper-jingoism, clinging onto ideals of [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalism]] and [[AbsoluteXenophobe militant xenophobia]] to such an extreme ([[DeliberateValuesDissonance even by the standards of its 1912 time period]]) that he considers the America below an irreparably tainted sodom [[KillEmAll that must be cleansed in a flood of fire]]. The sheer InUniverse perversion [[NoTrueScotsman of what makes America "America"]] is so extreme that it religiously hails UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington, Creator/BenjaminFranklin, and UsefulNotes/ThomasJefferson [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint
as literal deity figures to justify their pogroms]] (for those not in the know, Washington ''hated'' [[PermanentElectedOfficial the ideal of kings]], Franklin was deeply Egalitarian and a Deist, and Jefferson coined the concept of "separation of church and state").

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' switches it up depending on the character and which nation they're loyal to. Brittanians, by and large, are composed almost entirely of jingoistic imperialists whereas the Japanese are mostly portrayed as [[LaResistance freedom fighters]]. However, they do occasionally mix and match each group's ideals. For example, Brittania seems to not have much of an issue with racism (the clearly Indian-descended Villetta is staunchly proud of her Brittianian nationality), and there are several examples of the pro-Japanese movement being highly exclusionary even to sympathetic Brittanian forces.

* ''Comicbook/FreedomFighters'' has Uncle Sam, AnthropomorphicPersonification of the American Spirit, who is literally composed of this trope. No, really: his strength is [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve directly proportional to the faith of the American people in America and its ideals]], to the extent that [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly if nobody had any such faith he'd cease to exist]].

* The Squadron Supreme of ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn2021'' is made up of a bunch of jingoistic, hardcore nationalist pricks who make it clear they don't give a rat's ass about any other country unless they're currently attacking the US. Special mention to Doctor Spectrum, who's an utterly bat#$@! crazy xenophobe who invokes the ''Magna Carta'' as justification for brutalizing every extra-terrestrial being he comes across.

[[UsefulNotes/PoliticalIdeologies Patriotism is an emotional attachment to one's perceived people(s) and homeland(s)]], though people have used the word differently over time and in various contexts. In the twentieth century it was also understood as devotion to one's ''[[UsefulNotes/PoliticalIdeologies nation]]''(-state). How patriotism is portrayed in fiction oscillates between two poles, which are characterized by an emphasis on [[IndividualismVsCollectivism either Individualism or Collectivism]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'': The Enclave in general tended toward this (along with OppressiveStatesOfAmerica) during the final days of the Old World, and only got worse in the post-apocalyptic era, to the point of having to be taken down in ''Fallout 3''.
