	Monte Carlo is an administrative division within Monaco (sort of like a borough, I think), which itself is a city-state.

	Thanks for the critics. NYCub, you're right. Monte Carlo is only ward/quartier, so I pulled it out.

	Great quiz, those little countries were very hard. However, you should include Gambia as well. Banjul wasn't even close as of last census and is expected to have dropped back considerably since.

	I either knew 100 percent or I didn't have a flaming clue

	I like the idea of this quiz, but I'm dubious about the answers for Sudan and Philippines. Khartoum and Manila are on every list of the world's most populous cities (either by city boundaries or metro areas), and I've never seen Quezon City or Omdurman on those lists.

	The correct name is Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh is the person after whom the city is named.

	I can't believe Belize City isn't the capital of Belize.

	Belize City was the capital, but they moved it inland to Belmopan after a hurricane took out Belize City

	Quezon City is correct, as it is larger than Manila (City). The confusion is because Metro Manila (including all the various adjacent cities) is often just called Manila when quoting the total population

	Belgium, Sri Lanka, and Syria are all missing, according to the Wikipedia article "List of countries whose capital is not the largest city". Also missing are Montenegro, Monaco, and Taiwan, but those are justified. Strangely, Malawi and Nauru aren't on that list (Nauru is a confusing situation to me). Great quiz idea, though.
