All done!

I agree with the first half of the list more than the latter half, which seems too Amero-centric (10 Americans overall, incl. 4 Presidents) which I suppose though is to be expected here.

A heavy focus on political leaders (again, I suppose to be expected here) rather than scientists, economists, philosophers or other thinkers.
