	I take it you mean countries the people were associated with. As Che Guevara is Argentinian and Stalin is Georgian.

	Pseudoless:	Jul 26th, 2010 at 18:33 GMT	2 points
	Yeah absolutely. I'll put it in the note to avoid ambiguity.

	Hitler was born in Austria. But I guess you mean the country they died.

	Che Guevara was executed in Bolivia.

	I suspect most people, even if they know John Paul II was from Poland, more strongly associate him with Vatican City.

	This really is a quiz that should allow alternative answers. I totally get Germany-Hitler, but Austria should at least be acceptable. Also, by all means, accept Russia for Stalin, but please show Soviet Union. That's not nitpicky in the least, it simply _is_ what he stands for. If you're going to use Caesar, Rome should be accepted. Garibaldi or Verdi or even Mussolini would be better choices for Italy, I believe. Last but not least - if you go for a vague thing like "mainly associated with" there is no way you can not accept Bolivia for Bolivar. I _really_ liked it though.

	Mayan, very nice comment. I'll alter all that you mentionned because it is in fact better.

	Grace Kelly was from the USA. Princess Grace was from Monaco.

	Pseudoless:	Jul 28th, 2010 at 09:18 GMT	2 points
	Nope Grace Kelly is Princess Grace.

	Since when Corsica isn't part of France ?? Your remark is similar to this one: I'm from Alaska but I ain't American. Senseless.

	cocomika:	Jul 31st, 2010 at 10:34 GMT	1 point
	1) Maverick check your history before being nitpicky. Corsica became French on May 8th 1969 and Napoleon was born on August 15th 1969, so he was born French. Since Then Corsica is not a country but a part of France, same as Hawaii is part of the USA. Therefore, when you think Napoleon and you must guess a country, everyone normal should think of France (Napoleon was the Emperor of France!!!!!!)

	Maverick again, a good suggestion for Graham Bell but he was still British at the time of the phone discovery. He became Canadian in 1882. Could be included in this quiz still, but what about the comments of all the nitpickers?

	cocomika:	Aug 1st, 2010 at 15:18 GMT	3 points
	My mistake: the year for Napoleon and Corsica is of course 1769 and not 1969!!!

	I'm picking nits here, but could you find someone other than Kafka for Czech Republic? When he was alive, the area he lived in was Austria-Hungary. He spoke and wrote in German (though he did know Czech) and is more recognizable as Austrian. I'm fairly certain that the Czech Republic has plenty of people more synonymous with it than Kafka, who is only considered Czech because of boundaries that shifted after he no longer lived there. Excellent quiz, nonetheless, though.

	rct: I don't agree, Kafka is a nice clue, but please accept at least Czechoslovakia.

	Pseudoless:	Aug 2nd, 2010 at 20:35 GMT	1 point
	Czechoslovakia accepted.

	Very good quiz. I had absolutely no problems.
