world country and capitals
|
1 Israel claims Jerusalem as its capital where its government and parliament are based. Jerusalem is also the proclaimed capital of the State of Palestine. Jerusalem's unresolved status is one of the core questions at the heart of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Most countries do not officially recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv. The US is an important exception (6 December 2017).
2 Construction of Myanmar's capital, Nay Pyi Taw, began in secrecy in 2002. Built under military rule, it is four times the size of London and strangely empty.
3 South Africa has no legally defined capital city. The country's three branches of government are split over different cities: Pretoria (executive), Bloemfontein (judicial) and Cape Town (legislative). Most foreign embassies are located in Pretoria.
4 De facto Tanzania's capital remains in Dar es Salaam, the site of the executive branch offices and diplomatic representation.
5 The de facto capital of Tuvalu is the village of Vaiaku, where most government offices are located.
