This dataset includes the geographical coordinates of all capital cities from 1946 to 2019. There are two indicators. First, geo_cap_lat_cshapes for the latitude value. Second, geo_cap_long_cshapes for the longitude value.
Coding rules
The data source is CShapes. However, there were some disagreements with other sources on some capital cities as to when the city was actually the capital city. We amended the CShapes dataset as follows:
- All except Burundi, Myanmar and Palau: Changed end year from 2016 to 2019
- Burundi (Bujumbura): Changed end year from 2016 to 2018 (CIA World Factbook[1])
- Nigeria (Abuja): Changed start year from 1961 to 1991 (German Foreign Office[2])
- Kazakhstan (Astana): Changed start year from 1991 to 1997
- Malawi (Lilongwe): Changed start year from 1964 to 1974 ([3])
- Myanmar (Yangon): Changed end year from 2016 to 2006 (CIA World Factbook[4]; BBC[5])
- Pakistan (Islamabad): Changed start year from 1958 to 1966 [6]
- Palau (Koror): Changed end year from 2016 to 2006 (CIA World Factbook[7])
We added the following data to the dataset:
- Burundi (Gitega): 2018-2019
- Guinea-Bissau (Boe): 1973-1974
- Kazakhstan (Almaty): 1991-1997
- Malawi (Zomba): 1964-1974
- Myanmar (Naypyidaw): 2006-2019
- Nigeria (Lagos): 1960-1991
- Oman (Salalah): 1949-1971
- Pakistan (Karachi): 1947-1958
- Pakistan (Rawalpindi): 1958-1966
- Palau (Ngerelmud): 2006-2019
