What? Imagine a Scandinavian or a Briton chanting their countries names in any other place than a sporting event (with an opposing country). It just doesn't happen.

The only other country I can think of is the Australians. They would chant the "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi! oi! oi!" even at a pub having a beer in the afternoon.

As a Brit I'd have to agree, don't think anyone has ever chanted "Britain, Britain".
Other than football I can't think of any other time I've ever heard anyone chant "England, England" or whatever.
Might be slightly more likely in Scotland as they are a bit more nationalistic.
Unless you're German, than that statement is almost certainly false. And even Germany is changing.
Your statement most likely reveals more about your political leanings then the levels of nationalistic fervour in different countries.
