No, maybe no more capitals starting with U... but if we extend the rules to start with the END letter... Ulan Bator... then I say R ... Riyad (Saudi Arabia). ...

Now I'm confused. The rules as originally stated, by you, were to use the last letter for the first letter of the next capital. Nassau was used so the next capital should have started with U. Ulan Bataar had already been used. The game should have ended with Nassau as there are no more capitals starting with U.

This also brings up spellings. We are using the English spellings for the capitals, but in some cases there are more than one way to spell the city's name, especially when the the language of a country does not use the Latin alphabet. Case in point here is Riyad which in English is also spelled Riyadh.
