The capital of Palau switched from Melekeok to Ngerulmud

Nothing "switched". Ngerulmud is in the state of Melekeok. (The previous capital was the largest city, Koror.)

You are correct, yet something did switch (besides moving from Koror to Ngerulmud). Based on what's written on a plaque in front of the capitol building, the state of Melekeok ceded the area called Ngerulmud (really just a hill with the government building on it) to the federal government to establish the new capital. So I take it that Ngerulmud is completely surrounded by Melekeok but is not a part of Melekeok.

I was also going to point out Melekeok, though technically the capital is now Ngerulmud... much like New Delhi and Sri Kottegecheese these are basically districts or neighborhoods within the larger cities of Melekeok, Delhi, and Colombo.

Yes, because it is the commercial capital of Sri Lanka. Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte is the administrative capital of Sri Lanka.

Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte is *consistently* used as the capital for Sri Lanka on this website (as well as being defined as the capital of Sri Lanka by the Sri Lankans themselves, ie. the people who should know!).

The entire sub-continent have systematically changed the names of capital and other major cities away from the English colonial era. This was their choice, and quite understandable really. Without bothering to ask them, I would suggest locals with a nostalgic yearning for Empire are few and far between.

PS: Nowhere near enough time to work these out in one go

While Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte is the legislative capital, Colombo is the executive and judicial capital.

Should really be called "Capitals of Afro-Eurasia by First and Last Letter"... I mean you'd have to axe Canberra, but dummy me kept thinking of capitals in Oceania and the Americas to no avail.
