South Africa is also legally pretty vague about its capitals. There is no law that says Pretoria is the executive capital, or that Bloemfontein is the judicial capital. There is a law that says Cape Town is the seat of parliament, without using the word “capital”.

It was between "Neuchâtel" and "Stolen Nazi Gold" but they liked them both so much they couldn't decide.

It has no official backbone either.
But When's that ever been relevant.
