I believe that Aleppo, Syria is bigger than Damascus. Also, most consider Amsterdam to be the capital of the Netherlands.

Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands. Monaco is a one city state, Monte Carlo is just a region of it. I also believe the largest in Kuwait isn't Kuwait City, and that the Tel Aviv larger than Jerusalem in Israel. Also in your "cities larger than capital" section you have got the order mixed up in a few (Sri Lanka, Sudan, Philippines).

Technically the City of London only has 7,000 residents, other than the City of Westminster (about 250,000) the rest of London isn't a city, therefore Birmingham is the largest city in the United Kingdom, therefore it should be on the list.

It says right in your source that Amsterdam is the official capital and the largest city. Therefore the fact that Rotterdam is larger than The Hague is pretty irrelevant.

Follow your source, and fix the spelling in your title.

Thanks for the feedback. The Hague is the administrative, legislative, and judicial capital of the Netherlands (according to the source). Should it be a bonus answer? Monaco as well maybe. And about Tel Aviv and Jerusalem - different sources say different numbers.

No, The Netherlands should not be a bonus answer. Amsterdam is the capital, plain and simple.

Another nitpick: Cape Town is one of the capitals of South Africa, together with Pretoria and Bloemfontein. Does belong to the list nevertheless.

Shouldn't it read "São Paulo > Rio de Janeiro > Salvador > Brasília"?

With Canada it would be Toronto > Montreal > Calgary > Ottawa.
