	Why doesn't Quezon City ever show up in biggest city quizzes? If it is larger than Manila, it must be absolutely massive.

	I don't think Umm Durman and Quezon City should really count. They're pretty much part of the Khartoum and Manila area, which is why you may not have heard of them.

	i agree with kennechiwa87- quezon city although technically a different city name is part of the metro manila area

	I'm surprised this one got published. Too many inconsistencies with other sporcle quizzes.

	I attempted to create a similar quiz, but gave up because there will never be definitive answers. Some of these are suburbs of larger cities, and some aren't even cities at all. Also, population can be counted in several different ways, and different sources will have different data. Nice idea, but the impracticalities make for an unpleasant quiz.

	So, anyone else surprised that San Marino is not the largest city in the country of San Marino?

	I made this same quiz two months ago and learned the same thing that you said cheezguyty about there never being definitive answers so I'm shocked this got published.

	If you're going to accept "New York" without the "City" part, then you need to accept "Ho Chi Minh" without the "City" part (not to mention that you only write "Washington", and not "Washington, DC").

	Yeah, there are better user created puzzles unpublished than this slip-through-the-cracker. RE: rct's comment: I believe "Washington" is the official name of the city; the District of Columbia is the administrative entity.

	From wikipedia: "Dogana is a town in the north-eastern corner of San Marino in the Serravalle municipality (castle). The town is the most populated settlement in the republic."

	I was hoping Tanzania would be on this quiz (capital: Dodoma, largest city: Dar es Salaam). Oh well :(

	Going by Metro pop, La Paz is 2.3 M, and Santa Cruz is 1.8 M.

	Kolonia is larger than Weno, I'm pretty sure

	@rct: By your source, the official formal name of the capital of the U.S. is the District of Columbia, not Washington, D.C. What I find interesting is how many of these cities are former capitals of these countries e.g. Yangon, Cotonou, Abidjan, Lagos, even New York, or were capitals of these entities before they were countries, such as Belize City, Almaty.

	Chris156:	Apr 1st, 2010 at 20:46 GMT		3 points
	Wow, some of these places are incredibly obscure! :o I wonder why these countries don't use the largest city as the capital. Do they all have cities specifically created to be the capitals? (like DC, Canberra and Brasilia were).

	No chance I was gonna get most of these.

	@Lello18: what about them? Beirut has double the population of Tripoli.

	The list is not complete and what is there is debatable in a lot of instances.
