Also missed Monaco, and arguably Sri Jayawadenapura Kotte.

Within the parameters of the quiz, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago should at least be a bonus, since it, too, shares a word with a country… just not its own.

Thanks for catching those omissions. Sorry about that.

@BombaySapphire - I've changed the wording to avoid that ambiguity.

There is already a quiz that is very close to this one, different format, but same idea.

@psubball1 - Ah, sorry about that. @kaulbach - I excluded cases like that on the idea that "Tunis" is not a full word in "Tunisia." But I guess my phrasing is ambiguous.
