    the mother teresa one is complicated. she was born in Skopje in the ottoman empire. that would make her a subject of the ottoman empire. Subsequently she was a subject of serbia, bulgaria and yugoslavia. she then became an indian citizen and finally an albanian citizen towards the end of her life.

    It's Brazil I think, due to French Guyana being treated as part of France (unlike the UK with overseas areas).

    Or Guyana, but it's one of them.

    I remember doing a quiz once where they gave the correct answer as Albanian, far more complex that than evidently!

    3-4 correct answers there seemingly. Today I learned something.

    1947 AIFF: Allegedly won by Cavan in New. York (a bit far fetched if you ask me).

    .

    Allegedly and far fetched are interesting phrases to use considering we know for a fact that it happened.

    Interested to know why you doubt it happened.
