Farthest Closest National Capitals

A little confusing eh.
But simply put, these are the capital cities that is the closest but if compared with other countries is the farthest. Oh well...let's just enjoy the numbers.


OCEANIA
Canberra is the closest capital to Wellington with the astonishing distance of 2,328.78 KM. Also, Wellington is closest to Canberra than any other capital city within or outside Oceania.



ASIA
In close second is an Asian country capital of Dili, the closest capital measured from any direction is Bandar Seri Begawan which is 1,906.55 KM away. Long way to paddle it is! But Bandar Seri Begawan's closest neighbor though is Manila in a whooping 1,266.38 KM.





EUROPE
It might seem odd because we see this continent as tightly packed in a small corner of Eurasia but nonetheless Reyjavik is so isolated from the rest of Europe that it is 1,490.47 KM away to its closest neighboring capital which is Dublin. Dublin's closest neighbor though is not Reykjavik but of course London with only 463.84 KM between them.




SOUTH AMERICA
From South America, Brasilia's closest neighboring capital city that also shared border with it is Asuncion in a distance of 1,459.06 KM. Asuncion's nearest neighbor is Buenos Aires with a distance of 1,042.61 KM.




AFRICA
In the whole of Africa, Victoria's nearest neighboring capital Mogadishu is the farthest among the countries from this continent measuring 1,349.45 KM. But Mogadishu's closest neighbor capital is not Victoria but Nairobi with a distance of 1,016.07. Africa is indeed a huge continent.




NORTH AMERICA
We might not see Mexico as lonely as being far from a sister capital city but she is. Mexico City is North America's most isolated capital with Guatemala City at 1, 061.83 KM away, topping as the closest capital city. Guatemala city is nearest to San Salvador in only 174.19 KM, just a stride.

Closest National Capitals

EUROPE
Rome & Vatican City has literally 0 distance between each other for the Papal State is enclosed within the limits of Rome.

Without considering Rome & Vatican City next closest neighboring capitals from Europe is between Bratislava & Vienna (54.88 KM). Slovakia capitals' closest neighbor is Vienna which is the same as well for Vienna (closest capital to her is Bratislava).


AFRICA
From Africa, Kinshasa & Brazzaville shared the common number 1 closest neighboring capital with each other with only 20.05 KM apart.



ASIA
In Asia, Amman & Jerusalem is only 70.39 KM apart from each other and they are the closest neighboring capitals in this part of the world. While Manila, my country's capital is 1,163.03 KM away from Taipei, our closest neighboring capital.



NORTH AMERICA
Basseterre & St. Johns are 94.64 KM apart, which make them the closest neighboring capitals in their continent.



SOUTH AMERICA
205.46 KM is the distance that separates Montevideo & Buenos Aires and that makes them the closest neighboring capitals from South America.



OCEANIA
At 663.90 KM, Majuro & South Tarawa shares the common number 1 closest neighboring capitals with each other.



We can safely say and obviously enough that Oceania are more loosely arranged than any other continents.
