Distance is shown in brown if the two capitals are each other's closest (even when considering capitals that have been typed in already), in yellow if one of them is but the other isn't

Initials of the first pair: RV
Watch out for the following initials that might not be obvious: C for Colombo; M for Melekeok; P for Porto-Novo, Pretoria; S for Sucre; T for Tarawa
