Genesis, Yes, Floyd, Camel, Tull, Caravan, ELP, Van der Graaf, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Marillion, IQ, Renaissance, Strawbs, Gryphon - no other country can even START to compare with that lot - and there's more less famous but equally fabulous bands.

In fact, the rest of the world would struggle to match UK prog.

In Italy and Germany respectively, I presume? Wink 

As to the poll question: When it comes to classic "prog" there is more music from more people from the UK that I love (but of corse there is amazing progressive music from classic artists from the US such as Davis, Coltrane, Zappa etc.), but in modern Prog I find the US really strong.  THE UK will "win" this poll too darned easily.  I won't vote because there's so much from both the US and the UK that I love even if there is more from the UK (and of course the UK is home to Canterbury and Henry Cow).

Genesis, Frost*, IQ  vs Dream Theater & Spock's Beard is what it boil down to for me (picking from my personal favorite prog bands from the two countries in question).

Despite Frost's limited catalog and IQ's perchance to repeat themselves I'll have to go with UK.
