It’s not an accomplishment to happen to have canyons or mountains in your borders. All people did was conquer land and natural structures happened to be there. You should only be proud of things that your country did.

We should be proud that we haven’t destroyed them. Yet.
In this day and age, it actually takes effort to preserve them.
Having beautiful nature means your country did something to preserve it. By your logic yes you should be proud of it.
conquering mountains is a pretty impressive feat i’d say and could qualify as “things that your country did”. also having beautiful nature is absolutely a point of pride bc too often are natural areas ruined by development. a country being wealthy enough to leave some of its land natural for the enjoyment of its citizens is an accomplishment.
take my upvote
I’m proud of everyone who didn’t take time to voice an opinion this dumb.
This is truly unpopular, take my upvote! Also, I’m proud of my state for not allowing the destruction of our natural wonders, just as much as I am proud of having them exist.
Why? My home is beautiful. And it’s beautiful because our family decided to protect it, and it respect it. People aren’t building houses in state parks, or writing graffiti on the mountainsides. It’s gorgeous and we own it so we take pride when others enjoy it. And that pride manifests in me gratitude for being able to live somewhere so amazing.
So yeah, having beautiful nature that people travel to see is literal validation that you moved somewhere incredible that is worthy of being proud of.
