And it won't just be a World Cup between countries. It would be between every settlement on Earth. The ultimate football free for all.

The best city for a world capital is Port-aux-Francais, in the Kergulen Islands, in the south Indian Ocean!
Why? Because it's so isolated, and so remote, and so cold, that hardly anyone would want to go there. So fewer politicians would get involved in a world government, and we'd have less corruption and fewer infringements on our personal freedom.
So vive Port-aux-Francais!

If you want a truly isolated island settlement, go for Tristan da Cunha. The people there are so chill you wouldn't have to worry about corruption, though admittedly I don't know how well they'd run the world. Better than the people we've got, perhaps.
Or if you don't mind the place being uninhabited, you could set up shop on Bouvet Island, the world's most isolated piece of land. It's like 90% glacier, has a volcano, and gets horrible storms most of the year, so it meets your 'hardly anyone would want to go there' requirement.

Tristan might be cool except for having an active volcano that forced everyone to evacuate back in 1961. If it erupted again, it might wipe everyone out. Although, on second thought, maybe that's not a disadvantage after all . . . .
I would be worried about Bouvet Island, because it's close enough to Antarctica that it might make it easier to violate the Antarctic Treaty.
But any of those three might be OK!

We have very strange priorities for a world capital.
I can't wait to see what ideas for laws and such we come up with.

If we do get a world government, it would probably be more decentralized than most existing nations and have multiple centers of power.
