Wow, to see it listed like that is really something. It's fascinating to me how certain places are like this while others are not. For example: my ancestors on my father's side are Slovak. I tried, for something I was writing, to make a list of famous, influential Slovaks. There's basically just Andy Warhol.

Yeah it is weird! I got Slovak and Slovene ancestry and thereтАЩs just nowhere near the extent of influencers (Melania Trump!? ЁЯдо) - although several of the Austrians mentioned above were born in the Austrian-Hungarian empire outside of its current borders. But most of their work / influence started in Vienna!
