THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EXPORTS OF...

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WORLDWIDE EXPORTS OF...

The UK
Liberalism (first came the Magna Carta, then came the Enlightenment...)
Shakespeare (great at coining words and portraying human nature)
TV Comedy (Monty Python, 'Allo 'Allo, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder...)

France
Lieutenancy (nearly every military in real life and fiction has adopted the rank).
Fashion trends (ever since before the Revolution)
French bread (the quintessential baguette)

Sweden
IKEA (furniture, food, and items of vanguard design in a huge package the colours of the flag)
Brigades (Thank Gustavus Adolphus!)
Nordic model of welfare state

Denmark
Andersen stories
Butter cookies
Tiger (IKEA's Danish cheaper version)

Australia
Vegemite (tastes like... Vegemite)
Movember
Marsupials (nearly every zoo has got them)

SPAIN:
Hot actors and actresses
Siesta
Fiesta
And I'm trying pretty hard not to include "corruption."
