Many students at Stellerton University have a strong sense of pride. Besides, Veridia is no longer the "Sick Man of Aethelgard." Whether it's the economic rise in recent years or the cultural export, both have been widely recognized by the world.
Even if other major powers internally resist this rising Eastern lion, no matter how they curse and slander, they cannot hide Veridia's advancement to the forefront of the world stage.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Veridian people are inevitably arrogant or that everything is already prosperous. But at the very least, today's Veridians don't need to panderingly flatter foreigners like they did a decade or even just a few years ago.
The notion that "the moon in a foreign country is rounder" does not exist.
