But great quiz!
(And, before people try and “well ackchyually” me, yes, I know there are lifts and a viewing platform at the Eiffel Tower, but they’re more taking advantage of the tower’s shape rather than any actual interior space. If you removed the floor there, everyone would fall to the ground.)
(And the tiny room in the very top does not count, either; a single minuscule living space does not offset all the other lack of such.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_radio_mast
"The Warsaw Radio Mast was a radio mast located near Gąbin, Poland, and was the world's tallest structure at 2,120 ft (646.38 m) from 1974 until its collapse on 8 August 1991. The mast was designed for extreme height in order to broadcast Soviet propaganda around the world, including to the remotest areas such as Antarctica."
I know QM addressed this partially already, but, there are conflicting definitions of what a building is...
I'd like to suggest Ngerulmud as an answer for the "capital not one of the five biggest cities".
Palau, of course, doesn't really have cities, but it does have at least 5 towns. Ngerulmud, I've mentioned elsewhere, is just a hill with a population of zero. So I would say it's definitely not one of the five biggest cities (of which there are none) or even towns.
Then again maybe this is a bit too esoteric. Just a thought.
