Time for #fridaygeotrivia
Name capital city pairs (and their countries) that are less than 100km by land (no tiny islands) from each other. For example Vienna, Austria 
and Bratislava, Slovakia 
As always:
• Only one answer per toot
• You must include the hashtag #fridaygeotrivia and the emoji flag of relevant countries
Full rules/details: https://blog.opencagedata.com/post/geotrivia-september-2024
First #fridaygeotrivia points of the game go to @ryankas for Vatican City - Rome Italy 
Next to score is #fridaygeotrivia newcomer @seav with Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo 
— Kinshasa, DRC 
– Beirut, Lebanon 
It was only a matter of time. Many-time #fridaygeotrivia winner @ccferrie picks up Pristina, Kosovo 
— Skopje, North Macedonia 
barely beating out @seav
Ruling: @ryankas tries Helsinki, Finland - Tallinn, Estonia 
but we can't give the point as it requires a multi-hour ferry and thus doesn't pass the by land test
Point! to @ccferrie for the clever Jerusalem, Israel 
- Jerusalem, Palestine 
Half point to @MichelvanBaal for Nicosia, Cyprus 
and North Nicosia, Northern Cyprus (which has no ISO code, and thus no emoji flag)
Anyone with any new answers? Otherwise we will call it in 5 minutes. 
@opencage@en.osm.townIn a final #fridaygeotrivia throw of the dice @ccferrie tries Chisinau, Moldova 
- Tiraspol, Transnistria.
We can give only a half point as Transnistria does not have an ISO code
ok, the September 2024 edition of #fridaygeotrivia is over!
The coveted emoji trophy 
goes to ...
2nd place 
to @ccferrie
Thanks everyone for playing, see you next month!
Update: a late entry by @ryankas who writes
"Zagreb Croatia, Lubjania, Slovenia. 
- while the city centers are 118 km apart, it looks like you can find points within the city limits of each that are less than 100 km apart - e.g. city borders <100km"
We will count it, thus cementing the victory
