A digression I know but did you know that the minimum height for a soldier in North Korea is 4' 8 ".
Without looking how tall is its leader?

25 out of 26. I got the Switzerland one wrong, which I am not sure about, I have always been told (by Swiss people as well) that Bern is the capital of the country. At the risk of sounding big headed I would have got them all without the option choices, like I said last time, I do a lot of quizzing.

Never mind some, I'd guess a half of these countries didnt exist when I was at school. Managed 18 including a couple of guesses.
