Please just allow one standard spelling. It really grates to spell Tallinn correctly for it to be accepted with one n, and then my next answer gets an n stuck on the front. Surely it isn't too much to ask for people to learn how to spell these places correctly with either the way the country itself spells it, or the UN accepted spelling?

Or just look at the answer box before you type in the next one to make sure that you're not accidentally putting an n in front of it? Just a suggestion :)

For some reason I always forget Albania's Tirana XD yet get Kosovo's Pristina.

Level 38
Jul 17, 2024
Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are far from being European. So is Morocco, clearly an African country. Only Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey are partially European, although most of their territory lies in Asia. Moscow is the only capital out of these, which is located in Europe. Cyprus is disputable, sometimes it is considered European, sometimes Asian. And a small portion of Spain is also in Africa.

Andorra is the county, their capital is Andorra la Vella. They are not the same! It would be incorrect because Andorra is not the capitals name.

I would like to point out that there is no de jure capital of Switzerland, though since Bern is the de facto capital and "federal city", it makes sense to use it for these quizzes. I am just trying to raise people's attentions.

Although Kiev is still in common use, I believe it is now more common to use Kyiv for Ukraine's capital.

Google Maps, Wikipedia, the BBC and Britannica have all switched.

kyiv works as a type-in though (if you type kyiv it autocorrect to kiev)

The United Kingdom is a state made up of four countries England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. London is the capital city of England. Cardiff is the capital city of Wales. Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland. Belfast is the capital city of Northern Ireland.

Please can the author of this quiz just change the country option of the United Kingdom to England to make it correct. Alternatively add all of the countries and their capital cities that make up the United Kingdom. (as above)

All you have to do is go on Wikipedia to see that London is labelled as the capital city. The quizmaster is right. If you don't like it, make your own quiz.

Wikipedia is 100% accurate all the time, I mean you can't go and make edits.

I was only stating facts, look at other comments saying a similar thing.

"Other comments" yeah, one other person who said the same thing, lol. Someone doesn't seem to understand the difference between singular and plural :)

Wikipedia's not the only source for this, either. You can look anywhere and see that it's the capital city of London and the UK as a sovereign country. I'm just stating facts :)
