The capitals that trip people up
Capitals tie a country to its history, politics and location. Short timed bursts with instant feedback stick far better than a list.
The easy trap is assuming the capital is the biggest city. It often isn't: Australia is governed from Canberra, not Sydney; Turkey from Ankara, not Istanbul; Brazil from the purpose-built Brasília, not Rio or São Paulo. MapRivals mixes these in deliberately, so you learn the seats of government rather than just the famous skylines.
