I left Ablert alone as it could be argued either way. He grew up in Germany, but all his accomplishment were as an American. I am not sure how that should be handle and both will lay a claim, I would think. I did post Copernicus was Polish.

He wrote the theory of relativity in 1905 or 1906, got the Nobel Price in 1921 (for another discovery) and moved to USA in 1932 due to increased anti-semitism in Germany. After his move to USA, he spent about 20 years in quest for an advance he never succeded to find.

Be easy on Di. No she didn't do much admittedly, but there are few people who when they died devastated a nation quite so much. I think that qualifies her to be on the top 100, top 10, I'm not so sure.
Think about JFK, arguably he wasn't much of a president, that certainly doesn't disqualify him from being a revered american hero. BTW, he should be on our list as well.

How about Eagle-Eye Sherry, Roxette, Aqua, AHA, Dr Alban, Bjork and all the other "Viking leaders" They are all from Scandinavia, just like ABBA.
I think LEADERS should count, not simple celebrities.

By the way, the Vikings is not a CIV3 civilisation. Perhaps we are in PTW, but that game is still a week away...
And my 2.56 GHz CPU is a 3 weeks away. Soon the world will be mine!

The Swedish porn stars were just a myth. The Americans in the 60's called it porn when they saw serious Swedish movies containing short sequenses of nudity.
We have no international porn stars, just some local heroes. Can you remember seeing a hardcore porn movie where they spoke Swedish?

Well, Im English, and I consider them to be great. So they have "made their mark on foreign soils" so to speak.
As for speaking Swedish, they are usually dubbed anyway. Why only last night I was watching...
And... Erm.
Okay. Ill just stop now...

If the movies are dubbed, how do you know the actors are Swedish? I think some movies are called "Swedish Erotica" just to exploit the myth from the 60'ies. But sure, there are a lot of porn produced here too, but nothing like the Chech Republic. And the PRIVATE empire was started by the Swede Bert Milton. Perhaps he should be a peaceful leader in CIV3? With him in your possession, your population could grow faster.

Like anyone born anywhere. They are forever considered to be natives of that country. Their religion and race are not factors. If someones mother was in the USA and gave birth, that baby is forever an american, even if they were here illegally. Even if they do not consider themself to be an american.
Just like Meir or Begin. The same goes for states in the USA. I was born in Mich, but lived in Cal for the last 40 years. No matte,r I still am considered a Michigander.

That's good for America, but not quite for Europe:
there was no Poland for over a century. Does it mean that there were no Poles?

John Lennon is certainly more then a celebrity, ok Elvis might be, but ABBA were great leaders of the sexual revolution, as well as Grace Slick and Hugh Heffner

Wow, keep on going on this who's what nationality topic and you'll negate half the American leaders if not more. To quote the the great Solomon, "who cares, split the difference."
