Russia, by a long shot.  They have all the superheavy elements, even if 
Americans have a few of the transuranics.  But then Russians have a bunch
of weird ones like Samarium on top of that.

And many of the rare earth elements are named after places in Scandinavia.
Holmium is named after Stockholm, Scandium and Thulium after Scandinavia
in general, Erbium, Terbium, Ytterbium all after the Ytterby mine in
Sweden.
