Dublin is double (1.40 Mio & 0.554 Mio)

Hong Kong is not a capital

Lusaka (Zambia) is missing

Maseru (Lesotho) is missing

I like this quiz anyway :)

Vietnam's capital city is Hanoi, not Ho Chi Minh City.

Nice quizz, but many errors.

Good quiz, but it is a little stern and I'd love initials for the city or a map to show you where you've already got...
