How Good Is Your Geography?? [3]

I am ruling out the Vatican because I don't believe it is counted as a country/nation ( I chose my words carefully). It is a city/state which isn't the same thing. According to Wikipedia, sometimes dubious I know, Monaco is in fact the capital as well as the country. I do count the USA as a country with a capital, I will have to look at the Washington facts as tbh it is the first time I have heard Markabilly's point. So, will keep checking to see if anyone gets the answer soon. :)

Damn it, I'm gonna go with Helsinki and Finland! As it is widely known (among the patients of the Tallinn Mental Health Hospital) that Southern Finland is ancient Estonian territory! :D So the claim of some Finns that Helsinki is their capital is clearly false! :hmph:

So Finland doesn't have a capital! :D

:p :

Those crazy Finns eh? ;)

Sadly, I fear your guess may be a little wrong. But thank you for your input studiose. :D :p

OK so it's not Pitcairn, what about Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic?

You're very welcome! :D :p :

This really is a very interesting question, though. ;) Can't wait to find out the answer. Hope it's one of them "real countries". :)

Tis a real place - became an independent republic in 1999. That's another clue btw. ;)

Well, I might be well off here (as I can't really think of any countries that became independent in 1999), but... maybe East Timor? No, that was a bit later, wasn't it? :s

She wasn't being rude, damn you. :p : Even crazy people can accept that they are sometimes wrong. ;) :p : Well, I can, anyway. :erm:

1999? I assuming that it is a proper independent country, not a territory like Christmas Island or somewhere like Reunion and the many other French Departments?

Somewhere in Micronesia perhaps? Wake Island?

That is a good clue. And East Timor sounds like a pretty good guess.
How about one of those countries that were once Yugoslavia?
Macedonia?
