Why do you care about the place were it was developed? Languages know no borders. Regardless whether those are natural languages or programming languages.

Sure, but there's a difference between Donaldland and some guys in their basement writing a spec. The people do not necessarily support the government.

Qt originates from Norway. Most of the dev team was in Oslo, with small teams in Berlin and Brisbane.
