We have one word that, when used in the right tone and context, means something similar. "Boer", or if directly translated, "Farmer". You're basically saying the person has a very crude/hill billy-like mentality.
I remember hearing the words 'boerenkinkel' & 'boerenlul' in that context often.
Yea, those would be the even more insulting ones I'd say. Like, the upgraded version. Though it all depends on context. It might just as well mean 'what you just did was weird' among friends.

"Straya, ****".

Don't know why '****' has to be there, it just does. But I do find it funny how to Aussies, Americans are 'Yanks' but to Americans, Yanks are only from a certain part of America.

Are you talking about South Africa, by chance? I'm asking because that's the only nation that comes to mind with the word "Boer" associated with it(and pretty much because of the late 19th century wars bearing the name).

Eh, lots of people would say much the same about England and Britain, though.

Sort of.
In Belgium, us Antwerpians believe that Antwerp is the best city in Belgium. (We even have the saying "The only city's Antwerp, the rest is parking space.") So when we want to roar our regional pride at the rest of the peasants, we say "Antwaarpeuh!" You can say this anywhere and people will back you up with more chanting. It is that powerful.

I suppose ours would be "Ing-ERRRR-land!". Most likely to be heard shouted at dull football matches or by skinheads and morons blaming muslims/immigrants/blacks for all their "problems".
This is the only one I could think of too...

Then I read the OP and realised that we are too humble a country to have a word to encompass ladle-fed mega-patriotism!

Netherlands. A lot of the South African language has it's roots in Dutch because of the colonies the country had there in the past. So I can understand the confusion. Heck, most people think 'German' when they hear Dutch. Though I would barely be able to make heads or tails of the South African language I think. ^^;;

Well yeah... I've got 'Murica'. Although, personally, I prefer to use 'frigging dumbass' or something similar.
