10. According to the Nobel website, the 'Swedish Academy' has charge of the literature prize.tho nothing about determining nationality. Wikipedia suggests the Academy chooses the winner to be a writer from a 'noncombative' nation, and almost always from Europe. 
Life's a puzzle; one piece at a time.
