I would add a score for environmental concerns: Major polluters get an F. And a score for paying their employees a living wage.

Yeah, but those have nothing to do with patriotism. It's best we keep environmental and economic labels separate.

Caring about the viability of the land you love and its population should be the very basis of patriotism. Or is your patriotism an empty shell? What is patriotism to you?

You literally want to undermine environmentalism to muddy Nationalism. If it had it's own label: it'd be more prominent and uninfluenced by unrelated factors. An economic label could include:

  1. Pollution

  2. Biodegradability

  3. Reusability

And perhaps some other things; I ain't a scientist, so I wouldn't know what all should be factored into the rating. But my point is just that it should be separate.
