I made the argument about nations (the borneo, us, canada, etc. argument)
because cliomancy is history-based magic and was founded just after WWII. 
If most of the people in a particular country would get the joke where it
was punchline, it counts.  I think cliomancy accepts a nation as important
regardless of population...

But I'll concede the argument that it could have to be famous in the nation
the cliomancer is from (one nation or two--tops if the parents are from
different nations and the child spent large amounts of time in each).  To a
cliomancer, nationality I think is a big deal.

  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... 
  
  ...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.
