Funny enough, did you know that England has provided more individual world champs than any other country? Am I missing something here? According to my calculations, Sweden and Denmark have each provided 14 World Champions, New Zealand has 12 and England has 10.

Yes, believe it or not I got that in the end and only three New Zealanders have shared 12 world titles.
