I used to know all in the Old World (the Caribean and Oceania are so packed
with mini-states that I never bothered trying the New World). However, since
you almost never talk of the capital of Niger (Niamey!) and similar
countries, I've forgotten many African ones. I still remember all the
European ones, and most Asian.
