I can think of a two states where the largest city, capital and metro area are different
Florida: largest city Jacksonville, capital Tallahasee, and Miami metro is biggest
Texas: largest city Houston, capital Austin, and Dallas metro is biggest
Do you know of any state that would fit this criteria?
