QOD Sunday 12/02 "WORLD CAPITALS"

[fantine33]

WORLD CAPITALS

This one should be fairly straightforward. For each country, list its current capital city. Both this and Saturday's game will be open through Monday night up to Midnight Mountain.


1. Canada

2. Chile

3. Latvia

4. Malaysia

5. New Zealand

QOD: The former capital of Turkey has had many different names, three of which are well known. I am referring to its first name, its eponymous name, and its current name. What are they?

Edited to add that I am a dumbass (no matter how many times you proof....). The QOD should be "the FORMER capital of Turkey". Also adding the missising bonus question:

5 Point Bonus: What is the CURRENT capital of Turkey?

[AnnieCamaro]

I love map questions. When my legs were broken and I was just starting to learn stuff, I couldn't turn pages very well, but I could look at each page of the Big Book of maps for a very long time.

Spoiler

1. Ottawa
2. Santiago
3. Riga
4. (I forget. Maybe the Big Book wouldn't stay open at this part of the world.)
5. Wellington.

QoD: I can't answer this. I know three names for the old capital (Byzantium, Constantinople, and Istanbul,) but I don't know three names for Ankara.)

I edited this to put in the spoiler, so I may not get any points at all.

I'll STAY CLAM, because I can't think of alternate names for the capital, Ankara. Now, if you were asking about the former capital of Byzantium/Constantinople/Istanbul, I might go for it...

Dunno so I will have to pass. the capital is Ankara, which I think was once known as Angora. Not sure if that is the first name or the eponymous one although I would guess the latter. And no clue on the third one.

QOD: The former capital of Turkey has had many different names, three of which are well known. I am referring to its first name, its eponymous name, and its current name. What are they? Byzantion is the original one, from the eponymous (I like to say 'eponymous') founder, Byzas; next up is actually Nova Roma, but that was quickly discarded in favor of Constantinopolis, or Constantinople in English, from the eponymous (I do like to say 'eponymous') founder of the new city; the current name is Istanbul, which is from a Greek phrase meaning 'To the City,' by why Turks would change to that is beyond me.

Edited to add that I am a dumbass (no matter how many times you proof....). The QOD should be "the FORMER capital of Turkey". Also adding the missising bonus question:
