See the caveat. Johannesburg is not included because it's urban area includes Pretoria which is a capital.

Great quiz! The description says 500 instead of 100, may want to correct.

Is Delhi meant to be included in the exclusion caveat? It isn't a capital and has more than enough people if not.

I do think this is a cool idea though, five stars! :)

Thanks, I've added Delhi in the caveat now. I think I forgot it because of the similar name, but you're right, it should be included.

I think you used the data from my '500 Biggest Cities on a Map' quiz for this quiz -- I just updated the data for that, so you can go ahead and update this quiz as well if you'd like!
