About this topic
Asia's capital map carries a richer set of quirks than any other continent. Several countries quietly moved their seat of government in living memory — purpose-built planned cities, post-independence relocations, and partition-era splits all show up on the modern map. A few countries run two capitals at once (legislative + administrative, or constitutional + de-facto), and one disputed status complicates the picture in the Levant.
The 49 mapped capitals span natural sub-regions: East Asia, Southeast Asia (mainland + maritime), South Asia, Central Asia plus the Caucasus, and West Asia (the Arabian Peninsula + the Levant). Several Central Asian capitals look phonetically similar at a glance — a common stumbling block on Type-in. Island and peninsula states add another layer: planned cities, federal districts, and the only capital in the world that's also a sovereign micro-state.
Pick a mode and start. Type-in is the deep-end recall mode; multiple choice is the warm-up; tile select sorts the continent's capitals from distractor capitals under the clock; match pairs each capital to its country across regional rounds; click-the-map asks you to click the country whose capital is shown. Every mode counts toward your topic mastery.
