About the capitals of East Asia
East Asia has 6 capital cities to learn. Some are the country's obvious largest city, and a good number are deliberately not — which is where a capitals quiz earns its keep.
The spread is wide: China holds 1.41 billion people while Mongolia has 3.6 million. By land area China covers 9,706,961 km² against 36,193 km² for Taiwan.
The largest country by population in East Asia is China, whose capital is Beijing. Purpose-built and relocated capitals are common enough here that the largest city is often the wrong answer.

Frequently asked questions
How many countries are in this quiz?
This quiz covers all 6 entries in East Asia. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.
How are the wrong answers chosen?
Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
