i would agree capitals of higher level are not necessarily nor usually
capitals of lower level
& i dont honestly know
but i bet we could find a capital of higher level that is also a capital of
lower level
like say a state capital city that is also a county seat

m

in fact didnt tallahassee just become famous for being simultaneously the
state capital of florida & the seat of leon county

i think so
