Not a reliable source

Nice book, but it looks like the numbers are off for the populations of the capitals. We researched a bunch of them with different sources and find the book gives an inflated number. The total population seems to be more in line with reality. We haven't had a chance to compare any of the other facts, but that made us distrust the information. We do use it for our country loving 4 year old though, so the number accuracy isn't very important for our usage.
