It is called an Avoidance personality Disorder. You feel that others are superior to you in some way, or that you are inferior in some way. Because of this, you feel they are out to get you. There is lack of trust and communication between yourself and others. It is not caused by a physical complication, but it is considered a mental disorder that is treatable by consultation, and often medication.

Paranoid schitzophrenia
Psychosis
Symptoms include:
Thinking they are being followed or watched
Thinking that 'they' (whoever 'they' are) are out to get them
Thinking that their food / drink may be poisoned
Lack of trust in people including family and friends
Irrational and unfounded thoughts
People suffering from these disorders can be a hazard not only to themselves, but to others around them. It is important that they receive medical attention as soon as possible.

To be real cynical politically it is called "Nationalism". A lot of nations have it including us. Seriously there are a number of disorders that have a diagnosis of paranoia. I sugggest typing "paranoia" into Yahoo! search and you will get a number of links.

Schizophrenia, untreated depression/anxiety, drug & alcohol abuse are all capable of causing paranoia.
