The Italian Islands are Sicily and Sardinia i guess, but Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia, so it should'nt be here... And i don't think Venice is on one of the isles...

For Scotland, Paisley, East Kilbride and Livingston are towns, not cities, so your five answers should be:

Pyeongyang is a capital of Korea, just North Korea. While South Korea may claim the whole of the peninsula, in practical terms it does not control it, but it serves and is diplomatically recognised as the capital for the North.

We know, however Korea does not have one single capital, so either works

Hispaniola is not an "H-country", or any type of country. That's like saying no capitals of "N-countries", then allowing Managua, Nicaragua because it is not the capital of North America.

For H countries, that is too technical. Either capitals are allowed or they aren't. What is your reasoning here - that since no city can be the capital of all the H countries, that means all capitals are allowed for this one item? Just disallow capitals and largest cities across the board so that people taking the quiz don't need to read your mind for one answer that has special but unknown rules.

So how is St. Petersburg not in the top 5 cities above 56°N? Going by the reasoning for other answers, there is no capital of 56° North.

Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, and Langley are all direct suburbs of Vancouver, so they are part of the urban area population. Abbotsford is sort of kind of connected by thinning suburbs to Vancouver. At any rate, 4 of the 5 are definitely disqualified.
