I was so busy thinking about whether Istanbul was European or not (I concluded that it was) that I totally forgot that it's not the capital... well played.

I'd hardly consider Bosnia and Herzegovina a sovereign nation. It has three presidents, two entities, one neutral district and a head-of-state who is a foreigner selected by the "international community".

Switzerland has no de jure capital. Obviously Bern is the functional capital in every sense and is recognized as such, but they're technically right

Glasgow isn’t the capital of Scotland regardless, it’s Edinburgh.

Love how you avoided putting Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast in a quiz like this to avoid a comment like this and still got one. If only I didn’t do that when I tried to make a version of this a while ago (before I’d seen yours today)

Switzerland does not have an official capital city so Bern technically is not correct, they only have parlament building in that city

don't know if anyone else had this issue, but i clicked luxembourg and a red flag popped up in the top right, but it didn't go green. I got 23/24 cause i guessed the rest but luxembourg never changed color no matter how i clicked it.
