About this quiz
Salvador was Brazil’s first capital, from 1549, and Rio de Janeiro the second, until Brasília was built in the middle of the country in 1960. Most state capitals are also their state’s biggest city, but not all: in Santa Catarina, Joinville is bigger than the capital Florianópolis, and in Espírito Santo several cities are bigger than Vitória. Palmas, the capital of Tocantins, is the newest, founded in 1989. Each question shows the state’s own flag too.

The wrong answers come from the same region first, so neighbours such as Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte or Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul are easier to mix up.
