Topic	If Earth became one nation, where should the capital be?
Count_Drachma 02/03/24 12:46:38 AM #44:	As of now, either NYC (UN HQ) or Brussels (EU HQ). However, you could also make a good case for Washington DC, Moscow, or Beijing, given all three have an outsize influence on geopolitical affairs. Other than MAYBE a major European city, I'm not sure there's a compelling case for any other location. adjl posted... If the earth tried to become one nation, fighting over where the capital should be would fragment it again. PO, is that you?! Why'd you climb into adjl's body?

The geographic center for the Earth's population would be in southern/eastern Asia, so the capital should be around there. https://www.cntraveler.com/story/more-than-half-the-worlds-population-lives-inside-this-circle Basically pick any major city inside that circle. Don't know why the fuck Asia wasn't even an option when over half the world's population lives there. ~~"Other" when you had like 4 other spots for poll options, lol~~ tbh, I also scratched my head when I saw Asia wasn't listed, considering the influence of Russia and China.

Atlantis That would be the most awesome choice. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.
