How is a nation different from other forms of collective belonging?

Nation is like a large community who is connected with common aspirations, belief, development and goals for the growth and prosperity of the nation as a whole. It has certain social, geographical and political similarity. It is not a family or kinship relation as it is not based on common descent. It is also different from religious groups and lingual groups as one nation can have many religion and languages existing. It is different from other communities and groups found in our society. Being a citizen of a nation, we may not come across with everyone or we share ties with them still somewhere we have the national value instinct lived and valued by everyone.
