Please add Sucre. It's a capital of Bolivia, and it would make the quiz slightly more challenging and/or educational.

Actually Sucre is the constitutional capital and La Paz the seat of government (like Amsterdam and The Hague in Netherlands) so Sucre definitely should be added.

The Hague is in no way the capital of the Netherlands, only the court settles there but this does not make it a capital.

Level 56

Dec 19, 2017

Just like Thimpu and Punaka for Bhutan and Bloemfontein, Pretoria and Cape Town for South Africa.

Level 69

Dec 25, 2020

@dogla305 Not 'only the court'. Anything that has to do with Dutch national government resides in The Hague (parliament, all ministries) and virtually all embassies are there as well. Amsterdam is simply the constitutional capital and a huge economic and cultural center.

Level 62

Was thinking the exact same thing.

Level 32

You can just say Bolivia has 2 capitals and accept both...case closed.

Small location detail - Georgetown is further north, on the coast.

No, please don't! It gives me heartburn.

Why not? Sure, it's not a country, but it could be added. And if it is, I'd want to think that the Falklands can come here too, as well.

I think he was right of not puting Sucre in the list, beaucause La Paz is bigger and is defenetive he won't put a 100,000 populated Village!

Level 57

In what world is a population of 100,000 considered a village?

Level 61

I'm off to the village of Lansing, Michigan, lads

Never realized that Buenos Aires was so close to Montevideo. Always thought of it as more centralized.

When dealing with island countries, jetpunk considers geographical proximity to be the most important criteria. Therefore, Trinidad-and-Tobago is very clearly part of North America. It's called #consistency.

You just contradicted yourself.

Level 69

Level 36

I was convinced that Guyana should SURELY be next to French Guiana... devastated to discover South America has no regard for my idea of geographical logic.

Level 68

Dec 14, 2020

Maybe they'd consider switching? Have you asked nicely?

Level 65

Suriname was once called Dutch Guyana

Level 66

here in Brazil we don't consider Sucre. in fact, nobody knows about this city. but those countries with "two" capitals...i don't know how it works and is recognized worldwide.

Level 43

Dec 13, 2020

What!? I’m brazilian, and it’s considered. Sometimes, I forgot about La Paz. I think more people know Sucre than La Paz.

Level 67

Jul 23, 2022

Hell no. I'm brazilian too and in school Sucre usually wasn't in the maps, only La Paz. And in news, internet you usually only see people talking about La Paz.

Level 68

With the completion of this quiz, I am now level 66! Idk, just felt like mentioning it.

Level 61

12/13 got La Paz the wrong way round in Bolivia.

Level 79

Jul 24, 2023

A nice challenge with Bolivia's two. Can you add the diacritical mark for Bogotá?

Level 68

Jul 23, 2024

The only thing that makes it slightly hard to get a hundred percent (assuming you're good with South American capitals to begin with) is knowing which one is La Paz and which is Sucre. And I guess it's easy to get Guyana and Suriname mixed up too

Level 39

Aug 27, 2024

Dammit, I couldn't tell which one was La Paz and which was Sucre lol
