Fed. sucks, rule Klingons

Also, the Executive Capital was in Paris. Considering OP's scenario is a Bureaucracy where only the Executive branch exists...

That is what we must do. The ISS is already international, and it's not any country's land. It's perfect.

I sincerely hope it will not be Berlin.

Rent is already too damn high as it is.

Can London get it? That would put the final nail in the coffin for that city's working class.

Because this union would be lead by the EU or China, Berlin or Shanghai make the most sense.
This is Prussiaholm 2.0. The world Prussiaholm 2.0 exists in is different from Prussiaholm 1.0, which conformed to the lore and history of APSIA.

If this is talking about giving in to Corporations for a United World, Wall Street, NYC. If it unites under Religion, either Jerusalem, Rome, Mecca or Kathmandu (or some other holy site). If it united by means of Diplomacy between Nations, either NYC or a completely new city to prevent Bias from one nation. If one nation kills all the rest, then it would be that nation's capital.

New York or London would be most likely. Other places that might make the shortlist for a number of reasons (financial importance, a history of neutrality, hosting a lot of international stuff, and things along those lines) would be Geneva, Brussels, Vienna, Paris, Dubai, Rome, Tokyo, and Singapore. I've heard a number of interesting conspiracy theories that say a Astana, Kazakhstan is the capital our globalist overlords have in mind and looking at the strange architecture, there may be something to that.
