Strangely, tornados are largely a phenomenon a of the USA. Canada (the worlds second biggest country), has about 100 tornadoes per year putting it in second place; the US has 1200. See [1].
The most powerful tornados are the terrifying F5 category ones. The US has had 59 of those. Throughout the rest of the world, no other country has had more than two. See [2].
More precisely, most of these F5 tornadoes have happened in just a few states, Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas have had six each, and Alabama has had seven. See [3].
