Europe
From Speedsolving.com Wiki
Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. Europeans are famous for breaking ERs, WR and NRs (of their countries), but also the invention of the Rubik's cube (which was invented in Hungary by Ernő Rubik). Some popular speedsolving methods such as CFOP (by Jessica Fridrich from Czech Republic and Roux (by Gilles Roux from France) were also invented by Europeans. Europeans are also known for fast cubers such as Tymon Kolasinski, Sebastian Weyer, Juliette Sébastien and so on.
