Aprender de la A a la Z
.
The idea of this A-Z game is to write the Spanish names of the current de jure and de facto capitals of the following entire territories in the world
(de jure : in principle, recognized by law; de facto : in fact, without official recognition)
?194 internationally recognized sovereign states (Note 1)
?35 inhabited dependent territories having native settled populations (Note 2)
?1 supranational union - the European Union (Note 3)
?10 unrecognized or partially recognized sovereign states (Note 4)
?Constituent countries within sovereign states (Note 5)
?Tristan da Cunha, Saint Helena (Note 6)
(Note 1) : including South Sudan, an independent state since July 2011. Out of which 6 are partially unrecognized states
(Note 2) : excluding Akrotiri and Dhekelia. Out of which 2 are British overseas territories claimed by Argentina, Spain
Recent events: the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved in October 2010, Mayotte became an integral part of France in March 2011
(Note 3) : its locations of institutions can be considered de facto capitals
(Note 4) : The Republic of China (commonly known as Taiwan) has claimed sovereignty over China instead of declaring Taiwanese independence
(Note 5) : e.g., England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland
Many dependencies are constituent countries
(Note 6) : Ascension Island isn't listed because it has no permanent population
