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.
the only struggles on this quiz is mainly african capitals and some asian ones otherwise they're pretty easy to remember (except honiara for me for whatever reason)
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.
178/196, not bad for an american :3 although palestine, western sahara, kurdistan, somaliland, and many others should be on this list... even if you're only adhering to the UN's recognized countries, palestine is more recognized than taiwan
when this quiz gets updated for nusangara next month, can you please add a map. this quiz isnt much harder without a map, but its weird that it doesnt have it
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.
Just missed Yaren and Honiara this time. I thought of Yaren earlier but I decided to save it for later and not distract myself since I was trying to do them in order and I knew I was gonna forget it lol
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?
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.
According to Wikipedia (and other sources), the planned city of Nusantara is scheduled to be completed by 2045. Considering the project started only in 2022, it would indeed be way too early to make it the capital now.
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.

please separate Kingstown (St. Vincent and the Grenadines) and Kingston (Jamaica) from being a single guess, its pretty annoying when trying to practice, let people guess them apart. Thank You
When i was a teenager I struck out with this one girl, and I’d take this quiz repeatedly and try to memorize all of the capitals to take my mind off of it.
I still think of her whenever I miss South Tarawa.
got 166, but could have gotten closer to 190 if i had more time. didnt know the capitals of some small caribbean islands or burundi, and couldnt spell the capital of suraname.
also i always rememberthat burundis capital is bujumbura.
Finally I only have 10 left. I started learning 2 months ago when I only knew 40. Now I know 186. Hopefully I'll get them all in a few days. Some of the African and Oceanian ones can be a bit challenging, but overall it's not that difficult. Just takes some practice.

The English-language Wikipedia article for Indonesia still wrongly lists Nusantara as the capital.
Adios Jakarta 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Hello Nusantara 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Answer = yes. Thanks for the sticky comment at the top to tell me!
It's two different spellings, two different cities, two different countries.
What's the point of robbing the victory from us?
Just leave it as a normal answer... which it is
Plus spell check appears if you type "yay" in the comments
