Most populated city of every country excluding the capital

Depending on the country, the most populated city might be the capital or might not be. Can you guess the most populated city from each country, not taking into account the capital?
Updated on May 2026.
City proper, not metropolitan area.
City states were discarded. Marshall Islands y Maldives info was about atolls, not cities, therefore they were discarded as well.
