World Capitals
The complete reference: every country and its capital city, from Kabul to Harare, with flags for quick visual anchoring. When the table starts to feel familiar, the capitals quiz will tell you honestly how much of it stuck.
Capitals resist simple rules. Sometimes it is the biggest city, often deliberately not; planned capitals like Brasília, Astana and Naypyidaw were built for the job. That inconsistency is exactly why capitals make such good quiz material.
