Chapter 4
Capitals of Africa and Oceania
Africa has more countries than any other continent, and several moved their capitals after independence, such as Nigeria from Lagos to Abuja. Down in Oceania, Australia and New Zealand both chose a capital that is not their biggest city, so Sydney and Auckland are the classic quiz traps. Many capitals were chosen as a compromise between rival cities, and some were built from nothing to give a country a fresh start.
