      ... Then i found out there is a second country where they speak Swedish only, Unlike Finland where about 15% of the population is Swedish speaking...
      Mariehamn is the capital of Åland, that use top be a part of Sweden but was forced to succeed after Sweden lossed a war to Russia in 1850, then when Finland become independent Åland simply become autonomous, making it in effect a country that nobody ever have heard of.
      So Swedish schools just ignore the existence of the Sovern area. Worth saying is that Åland is a technical protectorate under Finland, often confusing people that its a part of Finland. Its very much not, hence, one can go there despite both Finland and Sweden being in the EU, to buy international tax free boos.

    London is the capital of both England and the UK, as the UK is united under the british monarchy, which is located in London. What's kinda funny is that in some regards, England is less of a country than Scotland, Wales etc, because most of English politics goes under the UK system, while the other countries tend to try to self-govern outside of the UK system.

    The first guy wasn't wrong about London. England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are nations, not countries, and they form the country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And London is in fact the capital of the United Kingdom.

    Americans are actually taught history outside the U.S. If people would pay attention during their World History class in High School and actually tried in school they would know plenty of capital cities.
