My two nominees are Portugal and Sweden. Obviously the further you go back Portugal takes it with the whole Age of Exploration shit. But Sweden invented Zyn, pop music, furniture, matches that don't explode, and file sharing. It's gotta be close!

ABBA, Ace of Base, Robyn, and virtually every major hit by Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande, and The Weeknd were written by a Swede. Country with 10 million people account for a massive percentage of American pop music. In deference to Norway, they wrote most of Rhianna's bangers.

Not really though. The Beatles were a Skiffle act that branched out into Rock n Roll. Bubble gum pop as we know it is a product of the nineteen hundred and nineties. it's not even disputable. The Mall would not be the Same without Scandinavians.

Don't sleep on the Dutch. Very important in the rise of capitalism and they had an overseas empire as well. They also played a major role in Europe (revolt against the Hapsburgs, sitting on the throne of England and the Glorious Revolution, etc.) starting around 16th century that Portugal really did not have.

If we're going pound for pound champ, it's England with a bullet. They're on a small island. Their population is about 1/6 of the US, less than 1/20 of India and China. And despite that, they are the undisputed POTUS and driving force of world history, civilization, commerce, and industry from, let's say, 1588 (defeat of the Spanish Armada) until they decided to give it all up circa 1945.
