Even in hindsight, I wasn't sure whether to say "countries" or "cultures" in this context. I know people who take their heritage very, very seriously, they might hire people because "they're Italian like me" or order food because "it's an Italian food" and so on, it's a kind of nepotism for the history of one's heritage that exists on a scale. While I do not necessarily agree with the question in the OP word-for-word (so many of the people here making assumptions can calm down, I simply see it discussed), I am worried, for example, about maybe Russia using nuclear power and wiping out a city or two and going above and beyond and then me having to work for someone from there who is "all for the motherland" and is exactly as I describe in my first sentence but pertaining to Russia, someone who will go so far as to favor something just for the upbringing connection. When people have their national upbringing challenged in society, they do often speak of it in terms of culture instead of nationality, especially if it's a heritage thing.
