Russia, as I said earlier.  They have an awful lot of the superheavy elements: 
Mendelevium, Flerovium, Moscovium, Dubnium, Oganesson, etc.

Dubnium sounds like something from Jamaica but it's actually named after
the town of Dubna where it was first created.

Some places call rutherfordium "kurchatovium" too.

Admittedly among the superheavies, America does have Tennessine.
