That is an exceptionally obscure pick.
Her Wikipedia entry is three sentences long.

Not if you're into Greenlandic, Arctic or Danish politics though...

(No, I'd never heard of her)

yeah not exactly proud of this game

That was a tough one. Great pick though. Next thread will be up pretty soon.

Sonia Backès

No idea what would make her 20Q worthy, but she fits all the requirements I believe.

Not Sonia Backès

Hint: Part of this person's political source of fame is being the chair of what Wikipedia describes as a multinational non-governmental organization

(hard to come up with a hint that helps but doesn't give too much away :/)

OK, places this person could have been born:

Bouvet Island (may be part of Africa)
Bermuda
Falkland Islands
Pitcairn Islands
Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha (may be part of Africa)
Turks and Caicos Islands (maybe--not in the Caribbean Sea, but I think it's generally considered "Caribbean")
British Indian Ocean Territory (I think it counts as either Eurasia or Africa though)
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Greenland
French Polynesia
Saint Pierre and Miquelon
Wallis and Futuna (I don't think so though, because I think it's in the Ring of Fire)
New Caledonia
Clipperton Island (no idea if anyone has been born here)
French Southern and Antarctic Lands
various islands off the coast of Antarctica, and I think Antarctica itself kind of counts depending on your definition of "island"

I think all of those places have populations well under a million.

I wish we had asked more about the area of fame. All we know is that she's famous for politics (and not music).

i'll give a hint along those lines after another guess

Aleqa Hammond also seemed suitable enough to make me excited but her birth year doesn't fit Yankees/Celtics condition.

If it wasn't for the "Pump Up the Jam" question, (or the first letter of the article,) Huguette Bello seems to fit the rest of the criteria. Same with Fiamē Naomi Mataʻafa.

That said, I'm guessing Mette Frederiksen.

Aalborg seems to be in Eurasia

Damn it, yeah. She came up earlier but I totally forgot why I didn't guess her earlier. -_-

I'll ask since no one has guessed. Was this person born on a Caribbean island?

No

5 guesses left

Hint: this person was born on an island that is currently part of a european country, at least nominally

Do we want to maybe clarify what "Caribbean" means?

Should we try and narrow down the region for question 20? Could be Oceania, Caribbean, Greenland, or some other island.

Honestly, this seems smart. We have a lot of information to verify someone as long as we can narrow down what group of people we're looking at. That said, how do we narrow that down further...
