Firstly, that's not how it's pronounced. Secondly, that's not the capital.
Oh, fuck, I didn't realise this was an European community.
"That's not the capital" tells me it has to be somewhere that the biggest/most well-known city isn't the capital. And "that's not how it's pronounced" tells me the country has to be difficult to pronounce for an English speaker. Plus your other comment rules out anywhere in Europe.
Examples of the first point that come to my mind are America, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Vietnam. But none of those meet the 2nd criteria.
I'm gonna have to guess Turkey, though that's rather borderline on both the "not European" and "pronounced wrong in English" criteria, so I think I'm probably wrong.
It is Brazil, but I was referring to the pronunciation of the city in question, being either São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro.
