I was thinking of Oddvar Brå.
DQ: Are you from a nation that has Mediterranean coastline?
IQ: Were you once Governor of Indiana?
Nope - no coastline to the med
Nope - I can barely place it on a map 
Have you ruled your African nation for over 40 years?
The people in question, for those interested, were Oliver Baldwin (son of Stanley) and Otto Beit (brother of Alfred).
DQs:
Are you Swiss?
Are you known as a performer in a team sport?
An IQ:
Were you the longtime Prussian Prime Minister of the Weimar period?
I´m not a politician. So have another DQ.
Not Swiss
used to play a team sport, yes
Isn’t that an oxymoron? Who sat for more than a year in the Weimar period? (by which I mean, have another dq)
Omar Bongo has ruled Gabon since 1967.
Were you a soccer player?
Are you a former footballer who is currently manager of the German national team?
I’m not head coach, but yes I am Oliver Bierhoff
And that is a very cool guy - so until I know more about him I’m going to picture him sitting drumming on his drums 
and now I’m off to learn the horrifying truth about him
That’s why I said manager, not head coach :). I can’t believe it took me this long to think of his name, I’ve been watching this thread since it started unable to come up with a single OB for an IQ. It was only when the DQs appeared to indicate a German footballer that it suddenly popped into my head.
Good game, I’ve already thought of a new one so game #40 will be up immediately.
Great - I’m looking forward to being on the asking end of the next one (it’s damn hard answering)
For the record, thie answer I sought was Otis Bowen, who served from 1973-81 and is currently ninety years old.
Never heard of Oliver Bierhoff, but obviously Dead Cat is quite familiar with his exploits!
As the Gabonian delegation marched by during the Olympic opening ceremony coverage in the USA, Bob Costas mentioned – as he has ever since he began hosting NBC’s coverage of the Games – that Omar Bongo is still in power. Bongo was born in 1935, so he could easily be occupying the Presidential Palace in Libreville for another decade or two.
Good job, Dead Cat! Never heard of the guy.
Otto Braun spent 11 of the 12 years between early 1920 and mid-1932 in that position. In that era, holding that post didn’t (unlike in the Imperial period) tend to equate power on a national level.
