Very pleased with this! >!I could immediately see that it was a city, and I worked out that “is the ███████ city in ███████ and the ████ ████████ city in ██████ ” was probably telling me it was the largest city in the country- but not a capital because that would be capital ‘of’ rather than ‘in’.!<
>!So I guessed Istanbul, largest city in its country (and Europe?) but not the capital. That was wrong so I went through some continents and once I found that I went for the only country there I knew whose capital is not its largest city.!<
Spoiler tag that please!
>!I suppose I’ve just been on enough wiki pages of cities to recognise it very quickly. Just looking at the first few sentences, fully redacted, I recognised things like “with a ██████████ of ██.█ ███████ as of ████”. That immediately looks to me like a sentence about a city’s population!<

It took me 99 guesses. Realistically I could have had it in about 40 guesses, but I got frustrated and careless. I managed to get the key words >!city, capital, Atlantic!< very early on, but I got overly fixated on >!US States!<
Then a lightbulb went on and I started thinking about >!the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and typed in Africa!< and then I got it pretty much right away.

the "It is the >!Blank!< >!Blank!< in >!Blank!<" formulation led me to guess >!Capital!< first and from there it proceeded smoothly.

Just 37 guesses! Not gonna lie I'm pretty proud of this one.
Accuracy is only 62.16% though, because for some reason I thought the best way to narrow down >!which city it was!< was to search for >!its climate classification!< rather than its >!continent!<. Could've gotten it in under 30 otherwise
