Y goes round again silently.
Anything other than Y or N prints the error then tries again.
... with the next state. I meant that instead the question "Do you want to
play again y/n:" should be repeated until there is a valid answer, either y

I thought you thought he was just quitting with the error message.
Suggested behaviour:
$ python capitals.py
Enter the capital of Mississippi :Jackson
Correct
Do you want to play again y/n: x
invalid choice
Do you want to play again y/n: z
invalid choice
Yes this would be the normal idiom.
