Notes

1. Bulgarian and Russian can be transliterated in various ways, therefore the two most generally used transliterations are given here.
2. Bairiki Village is the former capital of Kiribati and is still the seat of the Presidency, but the official capital is now South Tarawa.
3. Brades Estate has been the de facto capital since a volcanic eruption in 1995 covered the official capital of Plymouth, leaving it uninhabitable.
4. Nauru is the only country in the world without an official capital.
