About this quiz
The capitals of Ribbia's 197 countries, each filed under the continent of its country. Where a country has more than one capital, the one Ribbia lists first is shown.
- Nicosia, Tbilisi, Yerevan and Baku are accepted under Europe or Asia.
- Moscow, Ankara, Astana and Cairo each sit on one side of the usual boundary, so only that continent counts.
- A miss shows the right continent and the country, and missed capitals can be practised afterwards.

Note on the data. Capitals are those of Ribbia's shared country list, checked on 3 October 2026 against the US Department of State list of independent states (Equatorial Guinea follows its own government's decree naming Ciudad de la Paz). Continents follow the United Nations M49 regions with Cyprus counted in Europe; for the four capitals of countries that M49 places in Western Asia but Ribbia or common usage also counts as European, either continent is accepted.
