How about capital cities of the world?
Difficult as you like!

North Dakota = Bismarck
Honduras = Tegucigalpa.

One of my favourites was;

What is the capital of the second largest country in the world by
area?

Surprising how few people get it right.

Ottawa

(I had to check, but my guess was right)

even counting china and russia?

Russia is 1st

I guess its all about where you define national boundaries.

and what would be the issues here?

which disputed boundary affects any of these countries (except for Tibet
which would make China smaller not larger)

I have now found a second list putting China above the USA

but either way Russia is first, Canada is second
