As otherkin said, no one cares.

I prefer the term Nationalist, in its classical sense. Nation, arising from Natio in Latin, which is the same as ethnos, which means race, or family. Under this meaning, all of our ancestors were Nationalists. The phrase 'ethno-nationalist' is a complete tautology, and 'civic nationalist' is a nonsensical oxymoron.

It all depends on how much optics matter to you.

What do you call the United States then, if we're going to follow the original definition of a nation? And what happens when millions of English speakers, the majority, start using a word in a different way? Doesn't language evolve?

On another note, was Rome at its largest extent considered a nation?

The United States is not a real nation.

It's a giant economic zone/empire based on liberal values.
