Capitals are listed for the 193 UN member states and the State of Palestine, except where we cannot state one: Israel and Palestine (the capital is disputed), Equatorial Guinea (a move from Malabo could not be confirmed) and Nauru (no official capital). Vatican City is a city-state and is left out. Where a country splits its capital functions, each city is listed with its role. Capitals come from the open mledoze/countries dataset, checked by hand.

Searches marked “est.” are estimates: for a capital whose name mostly means something else, such as Victoria or Georgetown, we count searches for the city plus its country; for Singapore, Monaco, Luxembourg and Djibouti the city and the country share one name, so the figure is the country’s.
