Vineland, New Jersey

National Capitals on American Soil ~ Nicosia:  Between 1973 and 1989, there were two divided national capitals in the world. One was Berlin, but the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. The other one was Nicosia, which was divided in 1973. Nicosia is the capital city of what two defacto countries today? The Republic of Cyprus (capital = Nicosia) and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (capital = North Nicosia). In between is a U.N.-controlled buffer zone. Nicosia is now the last divided capital on earth. If you want to learn something more about the city, consult Geographically Yours. Siloam Cemetery. [2017]
