I think you have swapped roles of Astana and Almaty.

Hi, I guessed Astana but it looks like you have Almaty as the capital--that changed a while back.

You've updated the results to show Astana, but the only answer accepted is "Almaty".

Shanghai's Urban Area is still the largest in China. If you take Metropolitan Areas, then Guangzhou, whose Metropolitan Area swallows up nearby Shenzhen (pop 12 million), would be considered the largest.

Cape Town should be on here. It's a capital city (one of them) and it's about 1400 km from Johannesburg.

An interesting one with South Africa's 3 capitals, which are zero, 367 and 1263 km from Johannesburg. (The "zero" is if you accept citypopulation.de's view that Pretoria is a part of Johannesburg, but from city centre to city centre, you're looking at around 50 km). Will put that as a note into the instructions.

In that case, do you also have to exclude Bolivia because it has two capital cities?

No, because Bolivia makes the list either way. Santa Cruz to Sucre is 259 km / 161 miles.

Katowice is not the largest city, there is only a conurbation of more cities in that region, but each of them is governed separately. That one is definitely wrong.

OK fair enough. We'll replace it with the world's newest capital when it is inaugurated later in 2024!

The description needs to clarify if you are referring to city proper versus metro area and you need to be consistent. Sometimes you are referring to urban areas (Katowice) and sometimes city proper (Mumbai versus Delhi).
