None.

Countries don't have a unique identity I could like or dislike as a whole.

They can vary widely from region to region, city to city, block to block, street to street... heck even person to person. I may not like some people, or at worst some region because of this or that reason but that is all.

What exactly would you call a federal government?

Like, you're taking it as "people from a country" and trying to be high and mighty about it. When literally no one else is having that conversation...

I would call it a (federal) government, not a country.
How would you call it?

I more than disagree with what our government is doing in my country (and how they are doing it), do you think I should dislike all the people living in it, and all the places of that country because of me disliking a bunch of politicians and their politics? I don't.

Like, do you really think it's healthy to only answer what people are expecting?

and trying to be high and mighty about it.

In our days and age of constant hastily proclaimed condemnations, I can appreciate you taking the time to better know me before expressing your informed opinion on my person.
