Trenton, NJ, the most densely populated state in America, only has 91k. This represents only 1% of the population, versus 10 in ND. I’m not sure how it is around the country, but of the capitals of NJ, NY, PA, none are amongst the most populated cities in the states. And I don’t really care about the rest of the states (and I like Mass, but it doesn’t fit my example), so that’s that.
You’ve certainly piqued my interest in regard to populations of capitals v. the states they represent.
EDIT: And the first search result on the Google is from a Reddit post from seven years ago, listing 17 states in the US where the capitals are the most populated cities. With a map, because who doesn’t like pictures?
EDIT 2: I’ll just take this opportunity to spout some nonsense I like to spout: NYC (at least Manhattan, but maybe even out to Montauk, but of course excluding garbage ass Staten Island) and Philadelphia should be part of NJ, as they have more in common with NJ than they do their own states. Upstate NY and pretty much the entirety of PA are rural hick people. And sure there’s some exclusions, Pittsburgh, the finger lakes, Rochester, but for the most part, rural hick people.
