Trivia: Can you name any current national capitols that were constructed from scratch specifically for the purpose of serving as a capitol?
The reason I ask this question is that I have heard similar trivia questions asking someone to name the ONLY capitol built for that purpose. And yes, most towns and cities grow organically to become significant enough for a nation to want it to be their capitol (e.g., Prague, Paris, Buenos Aires, London, etc.). There are at least 4 . . . .
Washington, D.C. (USA)
Canberra (Australia)
Brasilia (Brazil)
Palikir (FSM)
