UltranationalismUltranationalism or extreme nationalism is an extreme form of nationalism in which a country asserts or maintains detrimental hegemony, supremacy, or other forms of control over other nations (usually through violent coercion) to pursue its specific interests.

The belief system has also been cited as the inspiration for acts of organized mass murder in the context of international conflicts, with the Cambodian genocide being cited as an example.
Religious nationalismReligious nationalism can be understood in a number of ways, as nationalism as a religion itself , a position articulated by Carlton Hayes in his text Nationalism a Religion or as the relationship of nationalism to a particular religious belief, dogma, ideology or affiliation.
