To identify places on political maps, the name of a country is usually in upper case and the capital city is made bold, to distinguish it from other major cities. To further differentiate between the cities, capital cities are marked by a certain point symbol (a star, square, dot etc.) and the other major cities are represented by a different point symbol.

How are features on a political map different from or similar to those on a physical map?

Features on a political map typically show boundaries of countries, states, and cities, as well as capital cities and other important political entities.
