Australia?
Usa?
Brazil?
Myanmar.
Biggest city Yangon 5.25 million
Cap city Naypyidaw 925 000
Still no right answer.
The closest is USA with New York being ~33 times bigger than Washington DC, which makes USA 3rd in this list.

MATHS!
Anything divided by 0 is indefinite ;) And knowing that Nauru has NO cities 0 divided by 0 is a rather pointless operation :DQuote:

Even if you'd look it like that (and i wouldn't) it is still not the right answer.Quote:

The right answer. By Rollo's logic i would have also accepted India, where the official capital is New Delhi (which is part of the larger Delhi metropolitan area) but the largest city is Mumbai.
I also thought it's India.....
This is probably way too easy...

My English teacher used to say "Ladies are the wives of lords and public conveniences - 0NLY!" Which is my way of saying that I haven't a clue.
Saint Lucia names after Saint Lucy (I would guess)
Saint Helena
Virgin Islands
I guess it comes down to what is a country. I didn't consider theses two as they are dependencies or overseas departments of other countries.Quote:

Britan is named after the Britons. If you follow that to the logical end, it means "the painted people", like the Picti in Latin.Quote:

And that's it - just two.
Since I got the easy one (saint Lucia) it must be your question onemanband
I don't know, I got it only thanks to the hints, you actually had to know something :D
If you have a qood question then have a go because I don't have one at the moment.
Name the countries that only have a single vowel in their common English name. The vowel can occur more than once for example yoyo has two O's but only has o's so it is ok.
Togo, Congo, Morocco, Greece, Fiji, Canada, Bahamas, Japan, Sweden, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Chad, Madagascar, Panama, Malta,*Rwanda
