Here is an overview of the natural elements with there country of discovery.

I think that small Sweden stands out quite well here. The top 5 are:

UK: 24
US: 21
Sweden: 20
Germany: 19
France: 17
Russia: 9

Then it quickly drops down just a few or a single one discovered.
Another point of interest is where the US flags are in that picture.
Most seems to be weird laboratory elements with minor practical use
today. Lowest element number is 85. Compare with the more usual
elements with lower numbers.
