Eswatini
2 cities in this atlas
Eswatini divides its capital functions between two towns, Mbabane and Lobamba, rather than concentrating them in one place. Neither serves as the country's largest settlement; that distinction belongs to Manzini. This split between administrative and demographic weight sets the country apart from nations where a single city holds both roles, though the data here offers no further detail on why the arrangement developed this way.

Eswatini divides the role of capital between more than one city: Mbabane (executive), Lobamba (legislative). Each is a capital in its own right rather than one being the real one.
