On Turku; please add Åbo (or Abo) as an alternative since the city has both Finnish and Swedish as official languages.

Sri Lanka began moving government institutions from Colombo to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte in 1982. Although the move is still in progress, and Kotte is actually part of metropolitan Colombo, Jetpunk recognizes Kotte as the capital of Sri Lanka, and does not accept Colombo.
