My take on all of this discussion of how well known is enough for cliomantic charges is this - use the same rule of thumb that Iconomancy uses for being famous: 100 million people, give or take.  That would be half to a third of the United States population should know of the person or place.  

This would clear up the trouble of foreign cliomancy, specifically the question raised about Canada.  I'm not certain what the population of Canada is, but I think it's under 100 million people.  So Canadian sites would need to be known by people outside of Canada as well: people in the U.S., Europe or wherever would need to recognize the place (depending on how big Canada is would determine the numbers needed elsewhere).

Of course, this is just me trying to attach some number to the guidelines to make estimations easier, and you could all go with some other number of one of the alternative possiblities suggested.
