Countries Where the Capital is Not the Largest City
Name every country of the world in which its capital is not the most populous city. Once you enter a country's name, its capital and largest city will show up.
Yes, I know a quiz like this has already been made by several users on the site.... But they have have rather inconsistent/inaccurate data, so I decided to make this quiz using the list on this featured quiz. So please let me know if there's anything I need to fix!
- Dubious cases, very small countries where a capital is not easily defined (e.g. Nauru), and countries whose largest city is different depending on whether city proper or urban area is used (e.g. Italy) - have been filled in for you.
- I kept Liechtenstein and Palau in the quiz because although the countries are small, their largest city is not difficult to determine, unlike for countries such as San Marino.
- Multi-capital nations, e.g. Benin, are not included if one of its capitals is the most populous in the country.
- Taiwan (largest city: New Taipei City) has been filled in because nobody is actually going to get that.
- Data is according to citypopulation.de, with Wikipedia as a secondary source.
a map would make it way too easy, and it would quiz your knowledge of where the cities are on the world, rather than quiz if you know which countries have a city bigger than their capital city.
