Sabaton Effect 

A strange but strong feeling of patriotism one may feel for a country they are not native to or don't live in. Mainly induced by listening to the metal band Sabaton, who sings about extremely proud moments in worldwide history.
Friend A: Bro, I heard Sabaton's songs about Poland, and I legit felt Polish pride!

Friend B: I know, man. I was listening to the songs from Carolus Rex, and I was proud to be Swedish, even though I'm not!

Longtime fan: Ah, the Sabaton Effect strikes again.
