Interesting that the capital cities of other Pacific countries are so close to each other that aren't on the list.

I feel like I'm missing something... Shouldn't Dubai be No. 1 in the last category? Since the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world?

Dubai isn't a capital city though, the capital of the UAE is Abu Dhabi not Dubai.

Should have Lotte World Tower in Seoul in first place, and then China Zun in Beijing for second place for tallest buildings.

Do you have a source for the most embassies in capital cities? Everything I've found shows Brussels, Washington DC, Beijing, London, Paris, Tokyo, and New Delhi all ahead of Berlin.

Anyone who knows Rome enough will disagree to count differently Holy See and Italian embassies in the city. All of the Vatican embassies are outside the Vatican wall, so they should be considered as part of Rome, and this would bring the city among the first 5 per number of embassies.

On the other hand, there are several sites that serve both functions (e.g. the British embassy), so it's hard to decide the actual number...

It's kind of unfair that we have to use Melekeok, but the answers always use Ngerlamund. (For Palau).

The quiz does not accept Astana though?

Edit: nope, I'm wrong. It does...I must have spelled it wrong (or said Asmara, as I occasionally get those 2 names mixed up!)

For the capital cities one, shouldn’t Wellington and Canberra be tied for first because they are both the closest to each other? That or replace the tie of Tallinn and Helsinki so it’s even.
