This is excellent. Only missed German colonies.

Small recommendation to change the category for capital "City"s to something like 'Capital is country name plus "city"' to avoid Vatican City confusion.

"Speaks Russian" doesn't make much sense, but I am not sure if other countries are accepted as well? For example Estonia has a higher percentage of native speakers and non-native speakers than Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan. If it's "official language" then Tajikistan should be added.

It's Andorra la Vella, not Andorra City. Same reason Djibouti is not counted as well

"La Vella" means "city".
kalbahamut

Level 84
May 6, 2019
Good point. Djibouti should also be counted. "City" is not an official part of the names of any of these capitals, it's just a quirk of common English convention that we believe it is. Mexico, D.F. or Ciudad de Mexico is as much analogous to Mexico City as Andorra la Vella is to Andorra City.
jordibabot

TWM03 "La Vella" means "The Old" in catalan, the oficial language of Andorra.
kalbahamut
+3
Level 84
May 6, 2019
Cut and paste:

Andorra la Vella means "Andorra the Town", to distinguish it from the Principality of Andorra as a whole. Although in Catalan the word vella (like French vieille) is derived from the Latin word vetula which means "old", the Vella here (like French ville and Catalan vila) is derived from the Latin word villa and means "town".

In other words, exactly the same as Guatemala City, Kuwait City, Mexico City, Panama City... these are cities/towns that have the same name as the country they are capitals of, that we attach a word to that means city merely to differentiate between the city/town and the larger country/principality. In all cases, "City," "Ciudad," "la Vella" are not originally part of the name of the place.

Level 79
May 6, 2019
Pretty sure its just "Luxembourg", no city added.
kalbahamut

Level 84
May 6, 2019
Only because the country of Luxembourg is so tiny that it's barely more than a city itself. Same deal with Monaco, San Marino, Singapore, and the Vatican (City). Though Luxembourg is the largest of all of them, it's still only 998 square miles total. New York City is 8,600+ square kilometers, many times the size of this "country." Also, look at Google maps or Wikipedia (Luxembourg City), looks like they have indeed started calling it Luxembourg City. One more to add to the list along with Andorra and the others.

"Laos" can be read as either 1 syllable or 2, so you might want to remove it.
