Its country name is the same as its capital. That and the fact that its only city is Vatican City, makes it easy to pinpoint its capital. Also, the quiz has the countries as hints.

My strategy for this was just type in all the obvious ones. Although I guess my definition of obvious is a little different to some since the first one I tried was Ottawa.

I wasn't expecting it to be right at the top, but I'm kinda surprised that it wasn't there at all.

Great idea. It's weird how so many guess the Vatican on the original quiz, but so few people THINK that people guess the Vatican. There are several other mismatches, though not so dramatic, as you work down the list.

Well, it is likely that the majority of people playing this quiz are westerners who would be more familiar with European cities. There are plenty of Asian cities with a similar number or more tourists than these cities.

Canada, the US, China, Brazil, and Russia are large countries. The rest of Europe is divided into many smaller countries, so it has more capitals for people to guess. (Somehow that made more sense in my head than it does looking at it now. I hope you get what I'm trying to say.)

Really shocked about Brazil. Since it isn't one of the principal cities of the country. I would have guessed Cairo, Prague, Warsaw. And would have wagered a sizable bet that Buenos Aires or Bogota were ahead of it in South American capitals

It helps that the least populated country has the same name as its capital, since it's a city state. If that weren't the case, I'd wager it wouldn't be anywhere near this list.

And you ain't wrong. What i meant to say is that it might be more believable that people would have guessed up many other relevant financial and political cities for the world panorama rather than CDMX, as there are many people here in Jetpunk from way too different countries (specially europeans) who might have gone up to write down more cities from the other side of the pond. Even though, we can acknowledge that Mexico is indeed at the world spot as this nation is the lovely backyard for american people. I guess many of those who guessed our capital were unaware about the sole existance of the city, rather they just tried on to put "Mexico City" to see if that answer was available. I've met plenty people who have tried typing down every single country's name adding a "city" at the end, like "Nicaragua City", "Indonesia City" "Eritrea City". Saludos desde Veracruz.

Very curious that Copenhagen, Oslo, and Helsinki make it, but not Stockholm - both the largest Nordic capital and the capital of the largest Nordic country. I've heard the theory that Oslo is the simplest, and sure, that's true, but Copenhagen is clearly less simple than Stockholm, so I don't think that theory holds. Besides, none of them are difficult names for English speakers like, say, Reykjavik. Very odd.
