Australian Capitals

Oh snap! :)

I'm 15 and I know all 196 countries and capitals

Am 13 and know all countries but like only 150 capitals.

I'm 13 and I know all 196 countries, capitals and flags.

I'm 13 and know all the countries, and most capitals but I have some trouble with the lesser antilles.

I'm 2 years old and can name all 196 countries and all 376 of their capitals. Also all features on Mars, including ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ where I am planning to move there soon. I can also name all ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇! People call me the "[REDACTED]"

You really are a 2 year old. There are TOTALLY 376 capitals...

I think that's why the username is TechNicole.

i would B)

256 countries!? Man I didn't we creating 40 imaginary countries just for you! One "special" snowflake aren't ya?

Well I'm -5 years old and I can name precisely 98790 countries with seven hours of time left

Banana, it's obviously a joke

What do you mean by that?

Jetpunk is better than this, but it's just each person making one response, and there's a lot of people making responses.

Yeah, but the point here is that the Australian capitals are the biggest cities in the area whereas US capitals are more often smaller cities. In Australia knowing the 10 biggest cities gives you the capitals. In the US you need much more than the 50 biggest cities to cover all capitals.

And most Australian states and territories only have 1 or 2 decently sized cities in them, so there's not much competition for what should be the capital.

I think most people will have heard of most of the Australian capitals (but also most of them won't have a clue that they are capitals) I would guess 6/8. So 3/4. Saying because there are more US capitals means people would know less of them makes no sense, theoretically you would expect atleast 3/4 too so atleast 37 (actually more, but I won't get into that now). I would put the names people recognise at around 8 for the average person. (if you present the name and ask do you think is a US city, a city somewhere else, or a name for something else, like a region. Because people will obviously have heard of Dover and Lincoln but not as US cities, and for Olympia they might be thinking of mount Olympus etc. So not just name ringing a bell, but actually knowing it is a US city)

Uh, yes it is, the Capital of each state/territory is the biggest city in its respective state/territory.

I hesitated at that one because knowing it's the national capital I assumed it wouldn't also be a state capital, but it's the only thing I could think of so I tried it.

The Australian Capital Territory is just like the District of Columbia. It only has Canberra in it, so Canberra perforce is its capital.

Technically I don't think the ACT has an officially designated capital. Obviously, in practical terms, it's Canberra, like you say.
