Countries and their capitals

This reference lists the capital city of every country — the 193 United Nations member states plus the two UN observer states, Vatican City and Palestine, for 195 in total — sorted alphabetically by country, each with its flag and world region. The capital is the seat of a country's government: some are also its largest city (London, Tokyo, Cairo), while others are purpose-built or historical seats that are not (Brasília, Canberra, Washington, D.C.). A few countries have more than one capital — South Africa splits its executive, legislative, and judicial seats across Pretoria, Cape Town, and Bloemfontein — so this chart uses the single commonly-taught capital (Pretoria) as a teaching reference. Use the region filter to focus on Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, or Oceania.

How the quiz works

The flashcard quiz turns the chart into practice, and it asks in both directions: it either shows a country and asks for its capital, or shows a capital and asks for its country. Each round offers four choices, with distractors drawn from the same region where possible so the wrong answers are plausible rather than obvious. Pick an answer and the quiz marks it right or wrong, reveals the correct country-and-capital pairing, and keeps a running score, current streak, and best streak for the session. Set the region filter to drill just one continent, press Next question for a new card, or Reset score to start over.

Built for study, private by design

Every prompt and answer choice is drawn with the browser's built-in secure randomness (the Web Crypto API), entirely on your device — nothing is sent to a server, and there is no sign-in or tracking of your answers. The chart and quiz work offline once the page has loaded.
