          โžก๏ธ The Global Capital Challenge: Connect the Country to its Capital City

While many can rattle off Paris, Tokyo, or London without blinking, identifying capitals like Ngerulmud (Palau) or Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte (Sri Lanka) takes a deeper dive into the world map. Some countries even complicate things further—take Bolivia, where Sucre is the constitutional capital, not La Paz. Or Nauru, which technically has no official capital at all.

Obscure, Confusing, and Totally Real

Some capitals on this list are small towns with big titles, like Palikir in Micronesia. Others have changed due to political shifts, such as Naypyidaw replacing Yangon in Myanmar. And then there are the tongue-twisters—Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Nouakchott (Mauritania)—which test both your memory and your pronunciation skills.
