I believe this sort of quizzes are best way to remember capitals. No one is like me on Jetpunk who still suffers to remember African capitals. BTW, Good quiz Stewart.

I will never bother remember African capitals or those of Oceania. Unless they're major I just skip right over them.

I still haven't even decided whether Swaziland or Eswatini sounds cooler.

Maybe let one of the Congos or Guineas have the old name.
