It's about standard. No need for a hint yet (unless you want).

1. Yes - real human being
2, 4. Living woman
3. No - born after 1912
5. Yes - born in Eurasia/green box
6, 7. Known for having a role in music, acting, or sports
8. No - see question

Okay, so we know this is a living woman, known for music or acting, who was born in Eurasia, but not in China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, or India. (No question in this post.)

So now I think we know it's a non-British EU born living woman known for music.

[Spartaculous]

Was she born in (what is today) one of the founding members of the European Union (in 1993)?

[Hominidae]

Yellow: modern countries she could be born in if the answer to Spartaculous's question is Yes
Blue: modern countries she could be born in if the answer to Spartaculous's question is No

[modderpoel]

Was she born in (what is today) one of the founding members of the European Union (in 1993)?

What does the “what is today” clause mean? For example if the answer to question 14 would be yes, what would the answer be for someone born in the BRD or DDR?

Thanks for asking for clarification. If she was born in, say, Hamburg, then I want you to answer based off of the fact that Hamburg is currently in (unified) Germany.

If the person was Angela Merkel, the answer to my question should be "Yes.".

First hint:
For previous questions with undefined terms and concepts, I've chosen the definitions I found most reasonable.

Blue: modern countries she could be born in if the answer to Spartaculous's question is No

Why are the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Denmark, France and Germany not yellow on that map?

I'm guessing this has to do with my answer to question 14

Yes, although in retrospect the UK should have still been yellow because you can be born there without being "British". That said, it has now been eliminated due to being a founding member of the EU.

[Hominidae]

Is she known for singing?
