"There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover..." The song is probably more famous than the place itself.

Actually the Kremlin in Moscow is a citadel, containing the Presidential Palace, various historical churches, military and government buildings.

Not in 1945 though, and I'm not sure it constitutes a "major" city. It's tiny both in terms of population and area, and it doesn't even have an airport

I'll concede you the year discrepancy, but city of 157,000 and metro population of 430,000 = "tiny" ?

Is this a trick question?

Same way that many, many other places can have capitals. Why wouldn't Bali have a capital?

you have no idea the amount of excitement I had when I went to post the exact same thing as you Mr.Pappy and then when I scrolled down to the bottom and saw Chromyx's post the level of sadness that swept over me was unreal. I had one chance to finally post a comment that was you know, good and I lost it. :(

Just a clarification, Duma is only the lower house of the Russian Parliament. It is the equivalent of the House of Representatives. The entire Russian Parliament consist of it and the upper house, Coincil of the Federation (Senate).
