Unless you have done something that you are not proud of then of course you can be proud of the country you were born in.
The country is just a land mass and static, it is the humans who have made that piece of land what it is, and if it has turned out to be a place that you can be proud of, then that is all down to those who have made it so, and that includes yourself, others and those who have gone before you.
