Hard choice. I would have to say the USA because of BTBAM, Dream Theatre, and Tool. Sweeden has Opeth and Meshuggah. :-)

None of which are comparable to Opeth or PoS according to me  Seriously, these two bands have done so much, revitalizing the scene, innovating, breaking boundaries, and last but not least introducing many a metalhead to the incredible world of more progressive music (and sometimes vice/versa, the world of metal can be more interesting than you imagined, after all if it weren't for more conventional metal, progressive metal wouldn't exist either  )

Since the first name in Prog Metal is Opeth, I had to vote Sweden.........

I voted for Norway . There is no vote for Norway yet, and I have not found a weak band from Norway in the Archives.
Actually I would put the USA before Sweden. The only Swedish prog metal band that I put among my 10 prog metal favourites is Pain of Salvation.

I went with the US for our great post metal output.
I cant blame the poll for being a bit lopsided though. Sweden, and all of Scandinavia know how to make some great metal.

Looks like Sweeden is running away with this one.
