Which Country Is Most Narcissistic? Global Study Finds Surprises — Germany Tops List, U.S. Does Not

Accusations of rampant narcissism are common today, and some worry the word is losing its meaning. But a large cross-cultural study suggests narcissistic traits—characterized by low empathy, inflated self-regard, attention-seeking, and competitiveness—are widespread and follow consistent demographic patterns around the world.

Large-Scale, Cross-Cultural Analysis

A team of researchers analyzed responses from more than 45,000 participants across 53 countries to measure grandiose narcissism, the form marked by self-promotion, status-seeking, and interpersonal dominance. Their results were published in the journal Self and Identity and challenged several common assumptions about where narcissism is most prevalent.

That's a low blow, odds are his ancestors were cast out of Europe because they were so dishonest and stupid they broke every standard and the local powers that be thought that executing them would have the corpse rotting the whole land along with itself.
