A map maker from Finland has designed an interactive map that shows who is the most famous person from each settlement in the world.
If you click on the character's name, you can go to its Wikipedia entry, get information about its prominence (according to web searches) and whether it is alive or not.
If you want - you can define the search of the characters according to leaders, sports, science and culture.
Best known from Texas.

How is the rating determined?
Mainly according to the biographies of the characters on Wikipedia - the length of the entry and the number of views.
The more famous the character, the bigger its name will be on the interactive map.
For example, Benjamin Netanyahu and Gal Gadot receive higher prominence than Benny Gantz or Gila Almagor.
