Great idea! I hope to see a 'dominating' cities version, too! I like the way you can try and get a hint either by guessing the city or the country. What about writing 'N America' and 'S America' so lines have the same height as the other ones? I was surprised not to see Dubai/Abu Dhabi

Thanks for your suggestion. Abu Dhabi is much smaller than Dubai, so as Cape Town vs Johannesburg or Osaka vs Tokyo (which is just enormous). The near miss is Astana vs Almaty.
