The delineation between Asia and Europe is fuzzy at best. For JetPunk purposes, Cyprus and Turkey are in Asia and Russia is in Europe.

There are quizzes that mention that Istanbul straddles both continents and that Siberia is Asian, but in general some arbitrary decisions need to be made for consistency, especially for continental vaguenesses. Heck, there are all sorts of debates over just the number and names of continents.

zoom in close on Google maps and you'll see two dots for capital cities right next to each other, though it's the same city not even 2 miles across both of them. Zoom out and the two dots merge in to one, and Kotte disappears so that all that remains is Colombo.

Colombo really should be accepted as the capital of Sri Lanka like Amsterdam being accepted as the capital of Netherlands instead of Den Haag and Kuala Lumpur being accepted as the capital of Malaysia instead of Putrajaya despite the fact that both Netherlands and Malaysia keeps most of their political branch in Den Haag and Putrajaya respectively. Besides, Colombo still has the PM's house and office, President's house and office, and the Supreme Court which gives a considerable legitimacy for Colombo to be called 'a' political capital of Sri Lanka out of their two capitals. Also, all my Sri Lankan friends (I live in India so I have a lot of them) says that Colombo is their capital because... it really is for them. (Plus, Kotte is in the metro area of Colombo so it really makes Kotte seem much more insignificant than Colombo for them) It's not important what the government is saying: do you type Czechia or Czech Republic? Czech government want us to call them Czechia but who does?

I type Czechia because it's shorter. I think the situation with The Hague is a little bit different. Not familiar with Putrajaya. But agree on Colombo.

I think Jetpunk should add Tel Aviv as an option (or type-in) for the capital of Israel, so that it for example says Tel Aviv/Jerusalem. The vast majority of countries recognize Tel Aviv as the capital, not Jerusalem, so I think that should by all means at least be an option.

A country can't decide the capital of another country. Israel says that their capital is Jerusalem, so all the other countries should respect that. For example Belgium can't just randomly decide that DC shouldn't be the capital of USA and that they should change it to New York.

1) Maps shows a dotted line.

2) See Wikipedia. "Palestine (Arabic: فلسطين, romanized: Filasṭīn), officially the State of Palestine[a] (Arabic: دولة فلسطين, romanized: Dawlat Filasṭīn) is a de jure sovereign state," although I do see your point.

3) Read Jetpunk standards, and read about the Big 5. You'll realize 3 out the 5 don't recognize Palestine.

Jerusalem? Really? Only five countries have their embassies in West Jerusalem and four of these five aren’t relevant. The UN and almost every member state in it recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. So either change this to West Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. Palestine is also an observer state in the UN so I don’t know why Vatican (also an observer state) is included in Europe’s quizzes but Palestine isn’t in Asia’s.
+3
Level 72
Aug 17, 2024
What does it matter where the embassies are. And west-Jerusalem isn't a distinct city, the city would still be Jerusalem. And other countries definitely can't decide for another country what their capital is, so you can't just decide it is Tel aviv. (At most you can simply not recognise Jerusalem as the capital, but you can't just assign another city as the capital. Only the country itself has the power to decide what its capital is)
+1
Level 67
Nov 7, 2024
I get that the whole Israel/Palestine thing is forever a hot-button issue, but a country gets to decide its own capital. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. And embassies don't mean anything. There are something like 130 embassies in New York City, which is also the US's cultural and financial capital, as well as its most populous city. So is the capital of the US New York? Or is where the United States says it is, and where the US houses its government? The prime minister, senate, and supreme court of Israel are all in Jerusalem. Israel identifies Jerusalem as its capital. Jerusalem is the capital.

Not weighing in on the rest of the Israel/Palestine conflict, but the whole "Tel Aviv is the capital" thing has just sounded profoundly stupid since the first time I heard it.
