North American capitals divide cleanly along the continent's political geography. The three mainland giants seat their governments in cities that are NOT their largest by population (with one telling exception — the rule that proves itself) — a pattern of compromise capitals chosen for neutrality rather than commercial dominance.

Central America runs from the Caribbean coast south through the isthmus: seven Spanish-speaking republics, each with a single national capital, plus an English-speaking one whose capital is a planned inland city built after a hurricane levelled the old coastal one. The Caribbean adds thirteen more island capitals, ranging from major colonial-era port cities to small parliamentary towns in the Lesser Antilles. Easy to confuse on this set: pairs of capitals whose names differ by a single letter, and the apostrophe-bearing patron-saint capitals of the eastern Caribbean.

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.
