World Geography and Capitals

Bandar Seri Begawan is the capital city of Brunei, a small sovereign state on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. Kathmandu is Nepal's capital, Luanda is the capital of Angola, and Baku is the capital of Azerbaijan.

Bucharest is the capital and largest city of Romania, located in the southern part of the country. Hungary's capital is Budapest, Austria's is Vienna, and Finland's capital is Helsinki. This is a straightforward geography fact.

Toronto is Canada's financial and business hub, home to the Toronto Stock Exchange and headquarters of the country's major banks and corporations. Ottawa is the political capital as the seat of the federal government, but Toronto is undisputed as the business capital.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland since its founding in 1863. Geneva is home to numerous international humanitarian organizations and is known as the 'capital of peace'.

Sydney is the capital city of New South Wales, Australia. Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, and Canberra is the national capital (Australian Capital Territory).

Doha is the capital and largest city of Qatar. It has been the capital since 1971 when Qatar gained independence from Britain and is located on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Oslo is the capital of Norway, Rabat of Morocco, and Berne of Switzerland.

Perth is the capital city of Western Australia, located on the southwest coast. It is the fourth most populous city in Australia and serves as the administrative center for Western Australia, the country's largest state by area.

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, a historical fact established in 1010 AD and maintained through various political changes. The distractors are capitals of other countries: Lusaka (Zambia), Sanaa (Yemen), and Caracas (Venezuela). This is a straightforward geography question.

Dublin is the capital of Ireland, having been the historical and political center for centuries. Ireland City is not a real place, and Longford and Port Laoise are Irish towns but not the capital. This is a basic factual question about European capitals.

Nairobi is the capital of Kenya, established as the capital in 1907 during British colonial rule. The distractors are capitals of other countries: Niamey (Niger), Suva (Fiji), and Kabul (Afghanistan). This is a straightforward African geography question.

Canberra is the capital city of Australia, established in 1908 as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne. Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney are all major Australian cities but none is the national capital. Sydney is the largest city, Melbourne was the temporary capital before Canberra, and Perth is the capital of Western Australia state.

Harare is the capital and largest city of Zimbabwe. Khartoum is the capital of Sudan, Nairobi is the capital of Kenya, and Niamey is the capital of Niger. All options are African capitals, but only Harare is in Zimbabwe.

Thimphu is the capital of Bhutan, a Himalayan kingdom. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal, Gangtok is the capital of Sikkim state in India, and Rangoon (Yangon) is a major city in Myanmar (though Naypyidaw is now the capital).

Oslo is the capital of Norway. Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, Helsinki is the capital of Finland, and Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark. All are Scandinavian/Nordic capitals, but only Oslo belongs to Norway.

San Jose is the capital of Costa Rica. The other options are decoy city names starting with 'San': San Rica is not a real city, San Antonio is a major city in Texas (USA), and San Marino is the name of both a European microstate and its capital city (but not in Costa Rica).
