About this topic

Oceania's capitals tilt small — only three of the 14 sit in countries with more than a million people. The other eleven serve micro-states scattered across the Pacific, several of which have populations in the tens of thousands. A few quirks to flag without spoiling. The largest country's capital is a planned compromise between two rival cities that each lobbied to host it and ended up with neither. One micro-state has no official capital city at all — its parliament sits in a district that's treated as the de-facto capital but was never formally designated. The smallest national capital in the world by resident population is here too — a settlement of only a few hundred people serving as the official seat of a tiny island state. The 14 mapped capitals span the four cultural regions of the continent: Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. 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.
