Peace: The Summum Bonum

Peace: The Summum Bonum power, defend the country and its laws from all domestic and foreign enemies and participate in the armed forces when needed by the nation. This, according to me, aptly summarizes what allegiance and patriotism towards a nation should be. For instance, if your country recognizes Israel as a country, then out of allegiance towards your nation you also have to recognize Israel as a country. Otherwise, your allegiance will be with those nations who do not recognize Israel, which will constitute a breach of trust between you and your nation. No nation will ever tolerate this breach of trust.
