Not for me. I'm Australian, and I don't know many US capitals. I got 10, though, which I bet is at least 2 more than the number of Australian capitals anyone in the US knows.

You're probably right. Without googling...Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, and Brisbane? Can't tell you what they are all the capitals of though, I won't lie. (Or if they are even all capitals...ay).

Not really, thinking about it - you only have 50 states to choose from (OK, you only have 50 capitals, but you have to know which cities are capitals, and many are less well known than the states)

I wouldn’t say ironic. U.S. state capitals were often deliberately chosen to be somewhere not the largest city to prevent that city from getting all of the political power.
