So, as possible birthplaces we have (using 1966-1987 borders):
-Ireland
-Switzerland (part)
-Liechtenstein
-Austria (part)
-Hungary (part)
-Czechoslovakia
-Poland
-Romania (part)
-the Soviet Union (part)
-Sweden
-Finland
-Svalbard and Jan Mayen, since they're not on the map despite being part of Norway
-maybe some other small islands that aren't on the map, hence the QM's hesitation

I assume East Germany and West Berlin have been eliminated due to being included within "Germany".

2,4,5,7. Real living male human being.
1,7,8. Born in 1966 - 1987.
6. Not known primarily for involvement in politics or science/social science/history/math/invention.
3,9,10,12,13,14. Best known for arts; born in Europe north of the 47th parallel north, but not in Germany, present-day Russia, or an area marked in dark blue on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Europe-blocs-49-89x4.svg
11. Primarily famous for something related to television, movies, the internet, radio, plays or musicals, streaming services, acting, directing, or screenwriting

Is this person most famous for something related to television, movies, or streaming services?

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

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

I posted that list before I saw the Russia question, but it's still true that part of the Soviet Union is still possible (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, most of Ukraine, most of European Kazakhstan).

Actually scratch this question. Is this person most famous for acting?

Scratched question is scratched. Yes, he is most famous for acting.

Free guess: Alexander Skarsgard?

Nominated for an Oscar, or won an Emmy?

No. I know this goes against the order the questions were asked in, but Skarsgård did win an Emmy. Since you kindly refunded my free guess (that wasn't clearly marked as conditional) last game, I will return the favor.

We will take (according to Wikipedia) 55°40′34″N 12°34′06″E as Copenhagen's coordinates.

Yes.

That leaves:

-Ireland
-Switzerland (part)
-Liechtenstein
-Austria (part)
-Czechoslovakia (very small part)
-the Soviet Union (Estonia, Latvia, part of Lithuania)
-Sweden (almost all)
-Finland
-Svalbard and Jan Mayen, since they're not on the map despite being part of Norway
-maybe some other small islands that aren't on the map, hence the QM's hesitation

Also the northern tip of Belarus is still in the game.

Born in Sweden, Finland, Ireland, or Switzerland?

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