I don't know why I thought that Europe had been eliminated. These games go too fast!

Born anywhere other than mainland Asia or mainland Africa?

Chinese, Persian, Mongolian, Japanese, Korean, Jurchen or from the Indian Subcontinent?

Born before 1300 CE?

So born in Greenland, the CSA or other secessionist state, a part of Mexico that was later annexed by the USA, a small island territory outside the Caribbean or a Central American nation

Was this person both (1) born on the American mainland and (2) head of state or head of government of an American country other than Brazil at a point of time* when the independence of this country was recognized by Spain? Using these dates: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerras_de_independencia_his...

Born in the Southern Hemisphere before 1950?

Born anywhere on this map that isn't colored grey? (Note that the light blue and yellow are not land.)

Born in South Asia (including Myanmar, excluding Afghanistan), Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding those born in the Sahel who are not Black) or Tokelau?

Born anywhere other than Liechtenstein, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Svalbard, Jan Mayen or Belarussian SSR? Hopefully this narrows it down to the Baltic States at a longitude further north than Copenhagen. The problem is if there are any extremely famous actors from the Baltic States, they would have ...

Born anywhere other than Liechtenstein, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Svalbard, Jan Mayen, Norway or Belarussian SSR?

Hopefully this narrows it down to the Baltic States at a longitude further north than Copenhagen, or it at least eliminates somewhere that we haven't thought of.

Edit: added Norway

If its a Dane, on the ground that his tiny island is not shown an extremely small scale map, I will barf. No specific locality is shown on such a map. Denmark has been clearly excluded, in my interpretation of the answers. I just thought of a place that I can't believe I didn't think of before: the...

I want it to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he won an Emmy.

He is also a famous politician, but I checked anyway a few minutes ago and he is not from the small part of Austria that hasn't been eliminated yet.

Born in Sweden, Finland, Ireland, or Switzerland?

No.

Interesting, I thought that this was a wasted question. Clearly I was wrong!

Born at a longitude west of Copenhagen or at a latitude north of Copenhagen?

Also apparently tiny slivers of Italy

I thought of that as well, but Italy is out due to being dark blue.

Ah, right

Also apparently tiny slivers of Italy, and not the RSFSR within the Soviet Union now that Russia is eliminated

Born in Western Europe? (Green box in Wikipedia?) Clarification needed: there is no green box on the Wikipedia article for Western Europe. You're right. Clarification: Born in the area marked as dark-blue on the Wikipedia file File:Europe-blocs-49-89x4.svg? From the file, it's ambiguous whether Spa...
