Germany (IBM)
International Business Machines Corp. has developed the world's fastest supercomputer, U.S. media reported.
The supercomputer, Blue Gene/L, is faster than NEC Corp.'s Earth Simulator, which had been the world's fastest with its ability to sustain speeds of 35.86 teraflops, or 35.86 trillion calculations per second, according to the reports.
IBM confirmed that its Blue Gene/L can sustain speeds of 36.01 teraflops at its manufacturing facility in Minnesota, the reports said.
IBM plans to commercialize the supercomputer as early as next year. The company said the machine's running cost is lower than that of the Earth Simulator because it consumes much less electricity.
German scientists are scheduled to release a list of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers in November, informs Forbes.

fOn the new list, the IBM BlueGene/L system, installed at DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), retains the No. 1 spot with a Linpack performance of 280.6 teraflops (trillions of calculations per second, or Tflop/s).
The new No. 2 systems is Sandia National Laboratories’ Cray Red Storm supercomputer, only the second system ever to be recorded to exceed the 100 Tflops/s mark with 101.4 Tflops/s. The initial Red Storm system was ranked No. 9 in the last listing.

Assuming that you're talking about supercomputers, then probably hidden in a miltary installation in the US... in terms of computing power, speed is all down to how much money you can throw at it.. and the US taxpayer seems to have more than most.
You'll never see it appear in any of the lists, though....

Good ol' US of A
BlueGene/L, made by IBM and run by DOE, NNSA and LLNL
France tops in at number 7 on the list.
DaveL- You're a bit incorrect. BlueGene/L has a theoretical peak of 360 teraflops, and has hit sustained performance of over 280 tflops. It operates out of California. (And the top 500 list is updated in June 07)
The German BlueGene/L ranks 13th in the world. It uses the same architecture as the BlueGene/L in CA, but has 16384 processors (vs 131072 at LLNL)
