5 Winhoek used to be in S Africa so as it's not the capital of SA it must be Namibia or Botswana or that very long one which I probably can't spell so NAMIBIA
8 Doha is the place where they pay a fortune to sporting events for no-one to watch and it's in the YEMEN
19 Skopje had a very bad earthquake in the 60s when it was in Yugoslavia which is, indirectly why my brother has lived in Italy all his adult life!! It is now in MACEDONIA

1 American Samoa Samoa 13 Donican republic Two more points for Gandalf. My granddaughter had a close encounter with Hurricane Maria in 2017 - she chose not to cancel her holiday in the Dominican Republic and fortunately for her it bypassed her part of the island (Hispaniola) and took out Puerto Rico instead ....
