I can't remember too well, but I'm pretty certain there was never a one nation podium from when I started watching. Can anyone else remember if such a spectacle happened?

(Scrabbles for Google...)
1983: San Marino GP. Tambay, Prost, Arnoux
The French GP the year before also had an all-French podium: Arnoux, Prost, Pironi.

has there been one in this decade though?

I'd think there would've been at least one all german podium considering their domination of the sport right now.

In terms of the number of them they are.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

Yes, true, in number, but not dominating the tables.
