Bolivia – (Sucre & La Paz)
Republic of China – (Nanjing & Taipei)
Côte d'Ivoire – (Yamoussoukro & Abidjan)

Greece also has two capitals. One is unofficial, but it is widely held to be the second capital. Athens and Thessaloniki.
>>
>>877805
well, what is a capital? it's the city where all/most of the administrative and government centres are located, i.e. parliaments, seats of heads of state etc.
countries with multiple capitals just have these things distributed to more than a single town
>>
>>877789
South Africa- Pretoria, Cape Town and Bloemfontein. One for the leglislative, one for the judicial, and one for the executive branches of government.
>>
>>877824
>>877805
additionally it might also be a traditional thing, i think albania or montenegro or somesuch balkan place has a capital defined in its constitution but the city is basically a sightseeing spot with old stuff, but virtually all the administration and govt take place elsewhere
>>
>country has 51 capitals

People with less than 95% of a single ethnic group tend to me more comfortable. There isn't a single country of the top 10 of the HDI index that's 95% ethnic whatever.

If a certain part of a country is both the cultural and financial capital then to me it can nearly be considered the real capital.

A good example is Ottawa and Toronto. On a global scale even Montreal is better known than Ottawa

>mfw I'm from Toronto and therefore biased

>>877795
Turkey is also worth noting, with Ankara and Istanbul.

Or the US with New York and DC.

I don't know what you understand under two capitals, but Amsterdam is the only one we have.
The Hague has the seat of government.

By most standards, that IS the definition of the capital. It doesn't have to be the largest or the most relevant city.
>>
>>878404
Amsterdam is named as the capital in our constitution. For what it's worth, it has a palace in use by the royal family.
