Romance in this context is essentially equivalent to Fantasy. So it means a degree of nationalism that attributes fantastic or even Supernatural ideas to the country in question. If you believe that the United States is not just a really good country, but is chosen by God to be the leading country in the world, then you are a romantic nationalist.
