Since Jet Punk usually ignores articles, how about (La) Paz, Bolivia?

JetPunk doesn't ignore articles; it's the quiz maker who sets up the quiz in such a way that you don't have to keep typing the articles.

Jetpunk should really ignore articles. Does the UK begin with a "T"? I also tried La Paz.

La Paz is never referred to as "Paz" by most of us. UK is mostly referred to as UK or United Kingdom. There's a difference.

That's simply false. It is very uncommon to hear "UK" without "the" preceding it. At least here in the UK itself, anyway

It does with sentences and booktitles etc. But not proper names..

In titles, in every day speech, people often drop the first "the" most people say "lord of the rings" while it actually is "the lord of the rings" But noone commonly drops the article for placenames.

Why is the last 'h' always removed from the answer? It's super annoying to end up writing 'hpalikirparamaribopristinapretoriaportmoresby' before looking up at the text field.

Like learning to type while looking at the screen, that's how you're supposed to do it (although I can't very well).

Yes, let's continue catering to the people who don't know how to spell and effectively punishing those who DO with the constant annoyance of having to delete letters and re-type entire answers.

This is why we're turning into Idiocracy guys.

Probably written without the h sometimes, but it does happen a lot and probably shouldn't with Edinburgh and Riyadh. I agree it is a bit annoying.

Not gonna lie, that was one of the last ones I remembered. I think sometimes you're searching your brain and straining so hard to think of the obscure ones that you forget the obvious ones.

Considering the constitutional and judicial capital of Bolivia is Sucre executive and legislative capital is La Paz. It is safe to say the Quiz Master chose the CONSTITUTIONAL capital for the answer.
