Apparently over time that's associated with the import/export industry. There's now some competition regarding this phenomena. We've imported so many that we must have exported a few, also, sprinkling crazies (culture?) around the world, including a few in the Euro-Zone. Though not in the E.U. anymore, look at the PM in U.K. He's cut from the same entitled cloth.

The music by Tears for Fears in their 80s hit single Everybody wants to rule the world pretty much sums this phenomena up. Lyrics & Music.
