What is the capital of Belize?

Knowing the capital cities of countries is what this item tests. Belize’s capital is Belmopan.

The other cities mentioned are capitals of different nations: Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bridgetown is the capital of Barbados, and Minsk is the capital of Belarus.
