For governments with multiple capital cities the answer tendstobe the official, declared, or de jure capital city. Forexample:the answer given for Bolivia is Sucre and not La Paz, theanswergiven for Palestine is Jerusalem and not Ramallah, and theanswergiven for Azawad is Timbuktu and not Goa. If there is nosingleofficial capital the administrative capital is favored fortheanswer (e.g., Pretoria for South Africa).

I am not making any political statements with any ofthegovernment classifications or capital city answers; I amsimplyfollowing a convention. The sovereign state subdivisionsincluded(US, Canada, and Mexico) reflect my national origin (US). Ihave noplans to include additional sovereign state subdivisioncategories(e.g., the states of India) unless if there is a visibledemand byusers based on feedback.

Each question gives 4 possible answers, with only 1beingcorrect. The 3 incorrect answers are randomly generated fromotherquestions. This can lead to what some would consider sillypossibleanswers (is Washington, DC the capital city of Ethiopia?).I do notfeel this detracts from learning the capital cities. Youstill needto consciously choose the valid answer.

Capital Master is intended to be simple and clean. If you haveafeature request or suggestion with this goal in mind pleasecontactme. If you find Capital Master useful share it withyourfriends!
