Nusantara is the new capital of Indonesia!!!! We'll gradually be updating all our quizzes.

Edit, the next morning:

Or is it... Information on the internet is scarce to non-existent. Wikipedia changed the capital to Nusantara so I followed suit. But maybe some key ceremony didn't take place? Because Wikipedia says that in the SAME ARTICLE where says that Nusantara is the capital. Which is it? Why are there no sources anywhere? We'll allow Jakarta as a type in for that answer for the time being. Hopefully this gets cleared up in the next few days. What a mess and I apologize.

Further edit:

We are reverting back to Jakarta. I should not have made the change and I apologize again. Wikipedia led me astray but I should have held out for official sources. If and when the official decree is made, I will change the quiz but no stats will be reset.

I love this quiz so much, even though i still struggle to crank up my number. Tel Aviv and Colombo for example are considered capitals in my country. I know the admin has some odd ideas at times, like adding Crimea to Russia instead of to Ukraine. This is a difficult quiz for non-Americans, what with different spelling and all. But fun to do.

As I'm sure you've figured out by now, the capital has not been moved yet as the new city is still under construction (although I believe inaugurating the city was the original plan). They merely held a ceremony in Nusantara celebrating their independence day.

Nusantara is apparently some jungle turned urban city on Borneo contrary to Jakarta's location in the island of Java–I'm not ready to adjust to typing "Nusantara." I'm probably going to type Jakarta so many times mistaking it for Indonesia's capital.

Jakarta is still the capital of Indonesia...Nusantara is the future/planned capital, but not in effect yet, according to sources - so is it justified to not accept Jakarta anymore in the quiz?

It was scheduled to become the new capital at the start of August 17, 2024, Indonesian time. It has already become the capital.
Nerd0921

Level 75
Aug 17, 2024
It was scheduled, but was called off.

The change in capital was supposed to happen alongside the country's independence day celebrations in Nusantara. However, the independence day celebrations in Nusantara was downsized due to infrastructure-related concerns and was jointly hosted in Jakarta. The inauguration of Nusantara as the country's new capital did not take place either.

All things concerned, Jetpunk's decision to swap the capital quiz seems quite premature, when the presidential decree for the change of capital hasn't come into effect either.

Palestine was here before Israel. To be impartial to the conflict over there, both Palestine and Israel should be listed. Perhaps because the original capital of Palestine was Jerusalem, they have not listed it. Ramallah is its present administrative capital.

Hello! I'm Indonesian and I'm thanking you for sticking with Jakarta as Indonesia's capital city! It is true that Nusantara will be our new capital city, but it's not official yet until our president inform it's decision which we call Keppres or Keputusan Presiden (The President's Decree). Until then, Jakarta's still the capital city.

In other words, Jakarta is Indonesia's de jure capital city, while Nusantara is its de facto.
