Loyalty Unearned

Why do so many insist on loyalty to a country when no such assertion is made in regard to other human constructions like churches, schools, corporations and social clubs? It seems to me that loyalty needs to be constantly sought, not demanded, for any of the elements of society we create for ourselves. To me, countries shouldn't get a pass. To demand loyalty is, at least partially, to admit it's not warranted based on merit.
