Definitions and Consistency???

[edit]

The USA is shown as a country without its capital on the coast, whereas Argentina is shown as a country whose capital is on the coast...

These are both ambiguous cases, as neither is on the open ocean, but both are located on *tidal estuaries*, with Washington, DC on the lower Potomac (where it's an estuary), and Buenos Aires located on the Río de la Plata, also an estuary.

So then, to be consistent, either both should be shown as "on the coast," or both shown as "not on the coast," but either way they should both be the same. -109.40.0.136 (talk) 10:51, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

South Africa

[edit]

South Africa has three capitals, one of which, Cape Town, lies on the coast. How should this be shown on the map, alternated colour line perhaps? The current map is misleading in this regard. --Duncanza (talk) 10:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
