Countries With the Same Number of Letters as Their Capital

Name the countries that have the same number of letters in their name as the number of letters in their capital's name.
Most countries with the same name as their capital have been excluded, as their capital ends with "city". (Ex. Panama City, Luxembourg City...)
Nauru has no designated capital, so it has been excluded as well.
Turkey's name was changed to Türkiye in 2022, meaning it does not count. Nur-Sultan, previously the capital of Kazakhstan, also changed its name to Astana in 2022.
Countries with multiple capitals count; (the) Gambia is sometimes referred to with the "the" in front of it, so it has already been filled in.

This is pretty clever. I could see it getting featured but I’d recommend including Turkey as that’s the name that JetPunk uses.

This is fun! I am wondering why Taiwan, Mauritius, and New Zealand are not included?

Also Bloemfontein has 12 letters but South Africa has 11.

Thank you so much! I just fixed all of the errors. The source I used must've made these mistakes and forgotten the countries you mentioned, and I didn't double-check. Thanks a lot for pointing that out, and sorry for that huge amount of errors I made 😅
