Which country or state has had the most capitals?

The most I have found is Hungary...I am going by the area that is within the current boundaries of hungary, and what was considered the "Kingdom of Hungary". Its pretty loose terms, but I dont see any other answers yet...\n\nHungary was part of the Roman province Pannonia...\nCapital was Aquincum.\n\nThen province split up, having 2 historic capitals...\nSavaria and Sopianae.\n\nThen came Kingdom of Hungary...\nSiscia and Sirmium.\n\nThen the country we know as Hungary today...\nSzsfeha 1000-1361\nBuda 1361-1541\nPozsony 1541-1848\nGyulafeha 1541-1699\nBuda (again) 1848-1873, but was ruled by Austria, so you can count Vienna as well, since it was Austria's Capital.\nAnd finally Budapest 1873-Present.\n\nSo thats about 12 if you get REALLY technical. But hey, whats the fun of it if you don't get technical?\n\nI'm sure there's something out there with more...\n\nUPDATE...\n\nOkay, After a little more looking up, China has had 13 capital changes but not different capitals, some of them are repeats.\n\nNOTE: Something that came as a surprise to me, USA has had 11 different Capitals, most coming during the civil war. See 2nd link below...\n\nALSO: Texas has had 11 State Capitals, the most of any state. What a fun question. see 3rd link.

Illinois has had 3 state capitals: Kaskaskia, Vandalia, and (now) Springfield. Maybe you could do a project on each time period or each city, explaining why each was chosen and why it moved from the first two.
