Quiz Writer
As a child, Haven enjoyed learning everything they could about many subjects, though the best resource was her grandma’s old stack of encyclopedias in those days. Today, Haven still likes to know a bit about everything. When they're not researching information for their posts or flexing that history degree, Haven's going through the quizzes of other authors on the site - because this is where the facts are found! Visitors to our site turn to Haven's fun and factual articles to learn about all kinds of things, from do-it-yourself ideas to the wider world. Those who prefer to get their facts in article format can find Haven all across the web, as well.
Did you know?
There are four different types of capital city.
Firstly, a normal capital city, which is an area of a country or province that is given a higher status than any other city. Next, a de facto capital, one which is head of a country’s government but not the official capital city. This can be down to tradition, emergency or conflict. Then you have purpose-built capitals; these are ones which are built because the old capital became too overcrowded, was destroyed or is too vulnerable to attack. Finally, you have split capitals, which are capital cities that have been split for either political or geographical reasons, having two or more different regions – think Berlin during the Cold War!
