About Americas and Oceania Capitals Quiz
The Americas and Oceania Capitals Quiz starts close to home with Ottawa and Washington, then travels south through Central America and the Caribbean to the Andes and Patagonia, and out across the Pacific to Canberra, Wellington and island capitals such as Suva and Apia. The Caribbean and the Pacific make the hard end of the quiz, with small island nations whose capitals are rarely in the news. Questions go both ways, from country to capital and from capital to country. It is a good partner to the World Capitals Quiz when you want to master one half of the map at a time.
