How international is your system?

I just realized that each of my components is from a different country (and they all seemingly get along fine!).

Wondering how international other people's systems are. Mine:

Scotland (turntable and cartridge)
Canada (phono pre)
England (CDP and tape deck)
New Zealand (integrated amp)
France (speakers)
Holland (ICs)
US (cables, cords)

Picking up on what someone above said about cars, it seems that audio gear is much more "international" than just about any other consumer products. Of course, if we looked at the "Made In..." fine print, we might come to a different conclusion.
