Banjul, officially the City of Banjul, is the capital and fourth largest city of The Gambia. It is the centre of the eponymous administrative division which is home to an estimated 400,000 residents. So what's it doing here?

This quiz uses urban area populations according to citypopulation.de (the standard source for city quizzes on Jetpunk). If you have a problem with the populations listed, take it up with them, not me.
