If earth ever unites into one country, where on Earth sould the capital be?
 
My vote would be for London, but realistically it would probably be Beijing.
 
In orbit. It would provide a purpose for the International Space Station ;)
 
Somewhere warm.
 
After I conquer the world, I intend to create an artificial island at the intersection of the ecuator and the prime meridian and place my capital there.
 
To clarify, I was referring to London, Ontario. :mischief:

Probably London. It's a world city, it's multi-cultural and it's more or less in the center of the world in a sense. New York and Paris come close. But except these 3 I fail to see any other city in the world that could fit.
 
You would need:

1. Good infrastructure
2. Good airport
3. Good seaport
4. Goad roads
5. Preferably low population density to alleviate traffic jams.
6. Preferably located among a lot of the world's population, to reduce travel times to the capital.

#5 takes out New York City. Otherwise, it would be a good choice.

How about somewhere in the Mediterranean? Like Turkey or Italy?

Also, I would say the huge megacities are NOT the ideal place for a capital. It would just increase traffic jams. Small cities that fit my points above are better.

Should be the stock exchange instead of that building or the pentagon.
 
A single place would create a new and gigantic feeding trough for politicians, beaucrats and all the rest of the sorry circus. Make them all work from home.
 
London, New York, or Tokyo.
