As a Scandinavian who moved to the US, my impressions from my limited personal experience is that

- Swedes do clock out after 8 hours, but they work all that time.

- Americans can spend a lot more time at work, but there is a lot of "just hanging out" going on.

I have heard this exact statement from multiple Swedes. I have seen them goof off just like their American counterparts.

Obviously we try to fit in when abroad.

This was the Stockholm office, but the foreigners (especially the English) absolutely had an impact haha.
