One Country, Three Capitals

South Africa splits its capital functions three ways: Pretoria executive, Cape Town legislative, Bloemfontein judicial — a compromise struck in 1910 so no former colony would feel it had lost.

The clock: all three keep UTC+2. Pretoria's jacarandas — around 70,000 of them — turn the city purple for about six weeks each October.
