Istanbul would be my choice. it's centrally located and has alot of historical significance as the gateway between the east and west.

Any of the major cities of the Anglosphere: New York, Toronto, London, or Sydney.
A nation founded in the early 1800s by Federalist immigrants from the United States. Has since developed an identity of its own and imperial ambitions. Now a neoliberal imperial power that justifies its aggression by putting it the name of tolerance and social justice.

I think New York City is the obvious choice. I can't imagine a more fit city, and this has nothing to do with me being a new yorker.

They still wouldn't be a great place for a world capital, but perhaps it would actually be good for them. If such a city became capital of the entire world, there'd be a lot of pressure from a lot of people to make things better there.
