Strictly speaking, Vichy was not the capital of unoccupied France during WWII, since France continued to exist de jure (if not de facto) as a whole from 1940-44 and its capital was still Paris (some ministers even officially kept their main offices there).
Vichy was "only" the seat of the French government, and French administration (police, departmental civil servants, etc.) continued to exist on both sides of the demarkation line.

This is in many ways the same as saying Berlin was the capital of West Germany, although most government and public service centers and other state institutions were in Bonn.

Yes, it's a bit of a stretch... I guess it can be considered as human geography? Hard question anyway.

So I waste a bunch of time trying to figure out the English way to spell Wisla (pronounced viswa) and it turns out it's Vistula.

St. Petersburg was Leningrad, not Stalingrad. But that's an easy mistake to make. I looked it up to be certain.

Villa in Italian does not mean "Country" home. It's just a home. It's a term often used to identify larger than average homes, or more luxurious ones, while small ones may be called "Villetta". Villas can be anywhere including big cities, not only country.
