World Countries Whose Capital Is Not Largest City Elimination

Directions

Name the countries (not capitals) whose capital city is not the largest city of that country. For countries with multiple capitals the administrative is used. Naming a country whose capital is its largest city will end the quiz. Ratio of largest city’s population to capital’s shown. Sorted by largest to smallest ratio. One country is forgiven as typing another country which is an answer requires typing a wrong country. For other countries with this situation, either both are correct or both aren’t. Keep in mind city populations are city proper.

Shouldn’t Israel count? Tel Aviv is the biggest city

OK, I give up; I cannot get #5 or #42 after weeks of trying. I tried Israel due to Jerusalem’s divided status (no luck); also tried Belgium and the Netherlands due to their capitals’ unique arrangement (no luck). Also tried countries with limited recognition (Palestine, Taiwan, Kosovo) and hit on the first two, but still nothing on #5 or #42. Any tips?

Thanks. I got #42 – is that accurate? Everything I see says that this country’s capital is it’s largest city.

I’m actually stuck on #6, not #5.

never mind, I got it. Some of the definitions of “city” make this confusing.

Oman doesn’t make sense imo, it’s like the situation with Belgium where technically Brussels isn’t the largest municipality but we count the whole capital region, should be the same way with Muscat

I really like this quiz – would it be possible to list the answers alphabetically rather than population ratio? The population ratio doesn’t give much guidance, in my view.
