"King" and "Country" sound like paying taxes and dying in a war for profit, i.e., someone else's priorities, no thanks.

Betterment of human existence, preservation of habitable environment, etc, those are bigger than the self.

It's a saying referring to having pride in the nation you live in. Make your country's status in the world just a tiny bit higher. Win a Nobel Prize for your country. Win the Olympics for your country. The US is not big on collectivism and that's okay. Other countries do things differently.
