	Please correct the spelling of Roseau. It's curious that, being Santiago a geographical name so common in Spanish-speaking areas, there isn't even a single town named Santiago in the states that were under Spanish rule (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, etc.)

	Aurelian147:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 19:14 GMT		3 points
	Oops sorry about that. Done. Funny you should mention Santiago, as I felt sure there was one in California. But apparently not.

	Darcita:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 20:08 GMT		5 points
	There is a Santiago in Pennsylvania

	MaxCanning:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 21:36 GMT		4 points
	There is also a Berlin, Massachusetts.

	rockhopperlad:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 22:01 GMT		4 points
	Illinois has a Vienna (pronounced VY-enna) and a San Jose (pronounced san JOEZ)

	Aurelian147:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 22:37 GMT		4 points
	Thanks for the input. Re: Santiago, Pennsylvania: is it actually a town? There's no mention of it on the US Census Bureau's website: http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/GCTTable?_bm=y&-context=gct&-ds_name=PEP_2009_EST&-CONTEXT=gct&-mt_name=PEP_2009_EST_GCTT1_ST9&-tree_id=809&-redoLog=false&-geo_id=04000US42&-format=ST-9&-_lang=en

	herrod54:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 22:59 GMT		2 points
	In addition to Lisbon, North Dakota has a Berlin and a Havana. Also a town called Hague which might be a bonus answer?

	explodingtrees:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 23:56 GMT		2 points
	Awesome quiz! There is a Warsaw in Virginia and a Paris in Virginia.

	Gravey:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 04:21 GMT		7 points
	Prague, Belgrade, Cairo, and Madrid in Nebraska. Skipped all of them, huh? This anti-Nebraska bias will not stand.

	sabresfan:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 04:50 GMT		3 points
	There's also a Damascus in Maryland.

	KansasJayhawk:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 05:00 GMT		3 points
	There is also a Moscow, Kansas.

	loganite:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 05:01 GMT		23 points
	Excellent quiz. Nominated. Consider making bonus answers to make fun of people (like me) who tried Kuala Lumpur, Bandar Seri Begawan, Ulaanbaatar, etc.

	KansasJayhawk:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 05:06 GMT		9 points
	Interestingly, there are probably loads of cities that are named after world capitals but misspelled. Bagdad, Kentucky and Cabool, Missouri come to mind.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Aurelian147:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 13:10 GMT		3 points
	Jerusalem is obviously disputed but it is considered the capital by Israel. Baghdad, Bogota, the Hague, Kabul and Peking are now bonus answers.

	andriy:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 13:24 GMT		6 points
	Batavia could be a bonus answer since that is a historical name of Jakarta.

	NJScouser:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 13:58 GMT		3 points
	Moscow, PA. Berlin, NJ.

	john19:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 14:39 GMT		3 points
	There is also a Bagdad in Fla. It's the hometown of Ryder Cup golfer Bubba Watson.

	joebobs:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 14:41 GMT		4 points
	I was surprised not to see Saint George's or Saint John's, and no Sofia, Santiago or San Salvador either. I was surprised to see Panama City there - it seems so specific to the country. Anyway, great quiz. :)

	ilikequizzes:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 14:59 GMT		2 points
	There is a Panama, Oklahoma.

	adamchappelle:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 16:24 GMT		3 points
	Ottawa, Ohio.

	PotatoDigger:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 16:54 GMT		5 points
	I felt stupid guessing some of the world capitals (pyong yang, paramaribo, etc.), but then I got montevideo and suddenly didn't feel so dumb.

	szillmer:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 18:25 GMT		1 point
	There is a town in Wisconsin called Luxembourg.

	BiloxiSean:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 20:49 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz, forgot Algiers, Louisiana......Right across the river from the French Quarter, New Orleans

	Morbo:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 20:53 GMT		4 points
	There's a Mexico, Missouri. Even though it's not Mexico City, it might be worthy of a bonus answer. There's also a New Madrid, MO, and a Berlin, NJ.

	JakeA:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 01:09 GMT		2 points
	There's a Lisbon in Connecticut, too

	chriskotx:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 02:18 GMT		3 points
	There's Bogota, Georgetown(50k+)and Moscow in Texas. Marbo mentioned Mexico, Missouri - which should qualify as an answer since Mexico is the name of the city - we just always say Mexico City like we say New York City.

	bball4:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 03:54 GMT		2 points
	also an athens in wisconsin

	metsfan2231:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 04:48 GMT		2 points
	there is a stockholm in new jersey

	Schkum:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 07:22 GMT		10 points
	It might seem silly to some, but there are many towns named Washington in America. Washington DC is actually the city and the district just said together, just like Lisbon, Portugal. Washington actually deserves to be on this quiz.

	nadivereb:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 10:50 GMT		2 points
	There is a Budapest in both Georgia and Missouri.

	confused:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 11:18 GMT		4 points
	Every single time I do capitals of Africa I get a visual of the LDS angel blowing his trumpet over Comoros. Now here's a world capital that occurs only in Utah, so of course my mind immediately goes...nowhere. Damn. Nice quiz, though!

	Rhys:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 18:03 GMT		2 points
	There's no Yaren in Missouri or Arkansas or somewhere like that? :(

	jwac:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 22:10 GMT		2 points
	there is also a Paris in Virginia

	CorneliusTree:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 02:53 GMT		1 point
	There's a Stockholm, Texas.

	micah:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 04:26 GMT		2 points
	There are more US cities and towns named Budapest than Jersusalem? I... would not have predicted that.

	Pure87:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 04:50 GMT		1 point
	There's a Baghdad in Alabama too.

	Snigglie:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 19:32 GMT		1 point
	There's a Vienna, LA, and you may also want to consider adding Delhi as a bonus answer. There's a Delhi, LA.

	Penny:	Oct 26th, 2010 at 03:35 GMT		1 point
	Excellent theme. There's a Stockholm in Wisconsin (very small, but charming and artsy), and a New Prague in Minnesota (pronounced Prayg, of course).

	acpdancer2014:	Oct 26th, 2010 at 17:18 GMT		1 point
	There is a Kingston, RI and a Monrovia, NY
