(does Valencian count as Spanish?)

For the record, no. Valencian is a form of Catalan, which is definitely a different language from Spanish.

Cesare Borgia may not have been a native speaker of any Iberian language, though, right?

. . . Exactly one of conditions 3, 6, and 10 applies

Well, good thing that conditional questions aren't allowed then

This is the webDiplomacy Forum that I missed

I like some parts of the old rules, but this section always bothered me, even though I wasn't playing back when people really used these rules: Before the twentieth question is answered, players who have not yet used their free guess may choose to expend their free guess alongside two consecutive q...

free guess: Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares? You got it! Richelieu and Olivares , by J. H. Elliott, is a great, short book that explains this period of history. I couldn't help but laugh when I read in this thread comments like that Spain was a highly "centralized kingdom". If only! You gu...

Not sure if this is a wasted question or not, as I'm not 100% confident on where native speakers would most likely be born between 1570-1727, but...

Was this person ever a pope, a doge of Venice, or a captain regent of San Marino?

Were any of those people native speakers of Spanish?

No, but native Spanish speakers did become Pope

Point of order:
What does the QM consider "Northern Europe" or "Western Europe"?

My consideration is irrelevant. See the original question:

Born in Northern Europe, Western Europe, or South America as currently defined in the UN Geoscheme?

Was this person ever in the Americas?

I can't readily find information on this on-line to confirm, but no

Clarifying question; The leader of the UK today would not be Rishi Sunak but King Charles III (is that correct as the way you answered the "leader" questions)?
