	You need to remove the accent on Brasilia. While it's the correct answer, most people don't have the accent on their keyboard or won't think to use it.

	Please change Brasília to Brasilia and accept "Washington".

	The problem is that the quiz isn't well worded. I assumed it meant countries which were planned to be capitals of the world. I tried Germania which was a name Hitler intended for Berlin.

	Kinda iffy. In a sense, Beijing is a planned city, and with a plan that references the Emperor. Same with Rome (Sixtus V - not Fiftus VI!) and London (after great fire). The same could probably be said for many other colonial capitals, and for many ancient civilizations' capitals.

	@urbanmapper-i think its safe to say that the cities on this quiz were planned entirely from scratch in formerly empty land

	This isn't a bad idea, but it needs a source. You also need to explain what you're looking for, and if you're looking for cities built intentionally to be "the capital," you need to include Beijing and Monrovia.

	I think this could do with having better hints - not really easy ones, but something about the capital that means we'd have a better chance of guessing it. Very few people are likely to say '1911 you say? Obviously New Delhi!' (the 'colonial era' clue is not a big help). I think this a good idea and gives some interesting facts, but better hints would make it more fun for people to play.

	Don't see the problems that others do with this. Great quiz - have 5 globes.
