Me too, it's always the first one I think of because of the unique name.

Its name is more unique than its capital status

Ciudad means city. It's Juárez City.

All of Mexico came to me pretty easily, I think because I've lived in the Southwest U.S. my whole life. Juarez (which works without Ciudad btw) is well known as El Paso's neighbor across the Rio Grande and for its violence.

What embarrassed me was not coming up with two of the Swiss cities.

The US the only one where the capital doesn't feature.

That's because Washington DC is tiny, city-wise.

I thought Philadelphia or Boston would have made it for the USA. Cancun for Mexico. Xiamen for China. Bloemfontein for South Africa. Adelaide for Australia. Finally Santa Fe for Colombia

Fun fact: Cartagena (COL) was named after Cartagena (ESP), which used to be Carthago Nova, which was named after Carthago (TUN), which meant "New Town", which was a reference to Tyre (LBN).

Really surprised to see Lausanne on there. I always figured Lucerne would be more famous internationally because of the dairy brand.
