Why this list? Sources and data

Why this list?

Learning capitals, without taking a political stance.

A deliberately broad list

MemoCap aims to be as complete as possible. Including a country or entity, its name, capital or classification does not express a view on its status.

Sources can differ

International recognition, names and geographical groupings can differ between institutions.

A documented editorial policy keeps the learning journey consistent.

A classification for learning

Each entity appears once, in the continent considered most helpful for learning. Official capitals are preferred, and special cases may include an explanatory note.
