On Chess.com we usually say "national team" to refer to the team representing a country in World League. Most of those teams are not affiliated to actual chess federations of said countries, which would be a criteria to get the green badge. Some are though, and usually they have the badge.

Then they can create a special badge for the World league.

I would disagree. "National teams" on chess.com are very difficult to qualify. Each nation will have to have a federally agreed upon set of rules and the U.S. is a prime example of a country with a discombobulated situation in the chess world. Look at LIV and the PGA in the U.S.---even in a well established sport such as golf, we still hardly know how to say which league correctly represents the U.S. in golf. In fact, the Ryder Cup itself is a hodge-podge show of the U.S. with a selection of golfers many non-participants would claim is shoddy at best. And, how about the Rest-of-the-World side? Primarily EU .. or should I say, primarily UK sluggers, many other countries' players would feel under-represented. Olympics -- define "Chinese Taipei". I hope you see the complexity of this notion.
Getting back to U.S.'s national chess team on chess.com, I am incompatible with the ... fellows (best term I can come up with) who started Team USA clubs / groups way back when. They only accepted a certain political persuasion which I did not agree with and was summarily booted from the team; had nothing to do with chess. I posted an opinion because the team admin said it was okay for me and others to do so. So I did. Someone got offended. I got the boot. I do not see how that should qualify them to represent the US as a team on chess.com.
Bad idea this is.
I think all of the national teams ( or at least those that play in the WL) should have the green verification badge and players should be suggested to join their national team.
