And Canada's capital is not even on the list!
For each location, name the nearest national capital.
Guess every capital by typing any capital within 1,000 kilometers. With a map!
As the crow flies, these are some tired crows. Name the countries that share a land border, but whose capitals are furthest away from each other.

Yet another case where knowing language phonology helps immensely. You might not know where Porto is, exactly, but tracing the language narrows it down a bit.

I know too much obscure geography to need language phonology for these!

I don’t want to judge, but obscure geography? The second biggest portuguese city and one of the best/most influential football clubs in the world. Maybe obscure for the average guy, but for european geography this is a standard

I looked at the first question, assumed it was talking about state capitals without looking at other questions or instructions and quit when I got mad that I couldn't figure out what state I had left out from my attempts.

I officially vote for adding thecapitalofcambodia as a valid answer for Phnom Penh which I'll never learn how to spell :(

Do I get facepalm of the week for not getting DC? Surprised it wasn't Ottawa and then went down the Bahamas / Caribbean route

I definitely need some coffee. I couldn't figure out why Taiwan wasn't accepted instead of Taipei, why Freeport wasn't accepted instead of Nassau, and I was trying all the British Isle capitals for Perth. And, to start off wrong, I was trying all the state capitals near New York. Forget the coffee, I need a nap.

Not hard at all.

Except yes the Karachi one was a bit unexpected. But still not hard.

Was surprised by how quickly little Timor-Leste came to me but still got 19/20 because I couldn't spell the Sri Lanka capital. :/
