Ruling note: Official, administrative and constitutional capitals all count. So does the UK, whose four countries each have one. Countries still moving their capital, like Indonesia, do not.

Gem note: Montenegro keeps Cetinje as its Old Royal Capital, and Burundi made Gitega its political capital in 2019.
