Have you taken a nap in Annapolis? Ridden a trolley in Raleigh? Spent June in Juneau? Done…whatever it is they do in Oklahoma City? Whether you’ve done all these things or are an aficionado of United States geography, you’re likely ready for this state capital trivia quiz!

While every American can name a few state capitals (including their own, hopefully), quite a few are more challenging than you’d expect. In fact, 17 state capitals are not the largest cities in the state--and one is the 23rd most populous! As a result, it takes a true geographic mind to master the location of each state’s capital.

But if you’ve finished hitting the books and double-checking your travel diary, gear up for these state capital trivia questions and answers. Your geography prowess will be pushed to the extreme--but on the upside, there are only 50 to remember.

Once you’ve finished with this quiz, keep testing yourself with these quizzes on Africa, Europe, and general geography.
