Working for Headquarters is both an honor and a sacrifice (at least financially). It is a service role, and when the people you are serving use terminology that is less than flattering - even if it is out of ignorance, can be insulting.
"Nationals" has a negative, oppressive, big government sound to it, such as, "He's a Communist National", or similar.
