Imagine living in a country where asking "What's the capital?" doesn't have a simple answer. That's because some countries have more than one capital city. But why? Let's start with South Africa. South Africa is one of the most unusual examples because it has three capital cities. Pretoria is the administrative capital, Cape Town is the legislative capital, and Bloemfontein is the judicial capital. Instead of putting all three major government functions in one city, South Africa divided them between different locations. Now let's travel to Bolivia. Bolivia has two capitals. Sucre is the constitutional capital and the official historical capital. La Paz is the seat of government and where the executive and legislative branches operate. So, technically, both cities have an important claim to being Bolivia's capital. But we're only halfway around the world. And the next country has an even more interesting story.
