Who's the most famous figure from your country?

As a shitposter, it pains me to say it but probably someone like Paul Hogan or Hugh Jackman. Our military leaders, politicians, etc. are really only well known by us (and maybe the kiwis), so really we don't have any "grand historical figures" that are recognisable everywhere.
>>
I'm from Finland.

You tell me.

Did you lived in the oppressed part of the dictatorship?

I did.

You would wish to live in Cuba or Venezuela tormented by the "muh free speech" limitations... instead of having retarded "carabineros" doing raids where you live , destroying everything , and taking people to make them "dissapear", while the rich kids see nothing of this because thet live in that bubble called to live "above plaza italia".

Disregarding football, I'd say Che Guevara, Juan Domingo Peron and his wife Evita. It's a shame if you ask me.
Also, the current Pope as well as José de San Martín (our Simón Bolívar), although I don't think many people know about the latter.
