I'm not saying that it is the absolute truth that the size of one's native country directly relates to that person's potential for worldwide popularity.
It's just a theory I crafted, that I am presenting to the wise minds here for comment and critique.

Kasparov speaks fluent English and has been a frequent presence on US television, trading barbs and jokes with personalities from Johnny Carson, Pauly Shore, and Bill "Politically Incorrect" Maher.
