Challenge 13: Where In The World Is The Immunity Necklace?

[Joss Carter]

Well she sneaks around the world from Fiji to Nicaragua,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Gabon to Koah Rong,
She'll take you on a ride on a slow boat to China, tell me
Where in the world is the immunity necklace?

Hello, gumshoes.  Today INTERPOL has asked for our assistance tracking down the notorious international criminal Carmen Sandiego.  12 hours ago she stole the very first immunity necklace ever used in Survivor: Borneo and now she's fled to another country. 

Of course, Carmen being Carmen, she's left a lot of geographical clues that can put us hot on her trail.  Therefore, we are going to let each of you try your best to track her down.  Whoever does the best job will win this game's immunity necklace, which thankfully was not stolen.

Here's how it will work.  When you fill out THIS FORM, you will see a list of sentences.  The name of a country, a world capital, or both, or two countries, or two capitals may be hidden somewhere in the sentence.  All you have to do is list the geographic location(s) in each sentence.  Whoever gets the most will win immunity, or in the event of a tie, the player who submits faster will win immunity.

Why yes, we do have an example!

Example sentence: "The ninja panicked which made for a mad ridiculous scene."

Answer: Japan, Madrid
Explanation: "The ninja panicked which made for a mad ridiculous scene."

Outside resources are not allowed during the challenge, although if you want to study a list of countries and capitals beforehand you may do so.  You may not consult the list during the challenge.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Errata: There is nothing preventing two countries or two capitals from being in the same sentence. The rules have been updated accordingly.

Is there only two things in each sentence?
