    The Thing, that often throws you off, especially in Europe is the city versus metropolitan area. Often the capital has outgrown the historical political borders and if the capitals area wasn‘t expanded the population seems low, because politicly people live in a neigbouring town, not the capital itself

      The main difference between Paris and London (and this difference actually applies to every city in France and England), is that the administrative limits of Paris are a lot more restrictive than London's. If you count the metropolitan area, they are very comparable, both between 10 M and 12 M. And if you take that into account, depending on the definition, Paris can be bigger than London.

    The problem is that the capital's population doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the population of the nation. Frequently capitals are separate administrative centers so they're not in the middle of big crowded cities... but sometimes they're in the middle of big crowded cities.

    The India one even me as an Indian got wrong. Because people Usually think Delhi is the capital but technically speaking Delhi is a territory and New Delhi is a city inside the Territory. As a whole the Territory (which is technically a city) has 31 million people but the area regarded as the capital only has 200k. It's like the difference between "London" and the "City of London".

    The problem is city population is really arbitrary. Different countries define city boundaries differently. This would work better if it used metro area population instead of just official city population, as it's more comparable across national boundaries.
    Like Pyongyang vs Buenos Aires is a little bit ridiculous. The official city populations are close, but the metro areas aren't even remotely close. Pyongyang has about 3.25 million in its metro area. Buenos Aires has almost 16 million.

    I have been watching your videos for about a year and they bring me great joy. Thanks for using your judgement to choose us, and from a firsthand perspective I can tell you that the capital is extremely dense. The entire country is 800 miles squared and we have 1.4 million people. I hope to see Mauritius more in your videos as it would cause a great deal of joy to my people. Anyway as always thanks for making daily videos, continue the grind, bye.

    Bolivia's capital has a small population because during a civil war, another city (La Paz) essentially took almost all the capital stuff from it. Goberment seat, legislative and executive power, foreign embassies, much bigger economy, etc. So La Paz has 3 million-ish people, and Sucre is basically just the historical capital, and retains the judicial power.

    Gets especially difficult when what counts as the city can really depend. There are some cities in the US for example that are huge in land area but tiny in population and vice versa.

    6:58 That's because the actual city of Brussels, the municipality, is actually pretty small in area, yet still very densely populated (187000 people on an area of just 33 square km), but because of the small area, the number of people seems very low.
    When we're talking about "the Brussels" most people know and refer to when they're talking about the Belgian capital, they refer to the Brussels Capital Region, which is actually also still relatively pretty small - only 162 square km, the size of a city, but which is still relatively kinda small for a capital city - but has a population of over 1.2 million people, which is huge for this relatively small area and shows how densely populated this area actually is. The Brussels Capital Region also just feels and seems like it is one city (which it should be too imo).
    You could kinda compare the Brussels Capital Region to the District of Columbia in the US, and the actual city of Brussels with the city of Washington D.C., with the big difference that Washington D.C. is the only city in the District of Columbia, while Brussels is the biggest one but one among 18 other municipalities in the BCR.
    You could compare this low number of Brussels with New Dehlis low number, it's the same situation. This solely represents the number of the actual municipality, ignoring the "actual" population. (Still not necessarily the same as metropolitan areas btw, because these cities are still in capital city states/territories/districts/regions/etc..

    This game is tricky, because, first, the capital city might not be the most populated city, and second, it kinda also depends how they define the city in the first place, and they might not include a big portion of the metropolitan area. For instance, I was surprised by the Paris one, but that's because the metropolitan area of Paris has a population of 14.6 million. The city itself "only" has 2.1 million. Meanwhile, London has a population of 9 million, and its metropolitan area has 14.3 million. So despite the two metropolitan areas being comparable, just because the way the city is defined is different, there is a huge gap between the two for the cities themselves.

    well, places like berlin or london include basically everything attached to the city, while places like manila and brussels and paris and new delhi are really only a part of the actual city they're in. its like the difference between LA city and LA county.
    cities like islamabad, pakistan or dodoma, tanzania are so small because they're new capitals, either planned cities or small cities chosen for their location. DC is both.
