Copernicus!

Copernicus would have viewed Poland in very high esteem. Since Poland was his place of birth, the country would have been close to his heart. Considering Copernicus's education began in Poland, it was the place his vast knowledge formed. For these reasons, Copernicus would have been loyal to his home country, Poland. Furthermore, I don't believe that Copernicus would truly detest a certain nation. His theory of heliocentricism does not deal as much with thoughts on human nature, and is more neutral, considering it involves science. Therefore, he would not be biased against a certain nation, for example, if they formed different views about thought.
