No love for your friendly, neighborhood Winged Hussars?

Warsaw does not have the impressive legacy or strategic location that the others do.

The fact is that governments are completely incapable of managing anything and corporations are the future. We just need to figure where the future corporate HQ will be.

Corporations are better at running shit than governments?

Last time I checked, poor leadership knows no borders.

Government, Business, Unions, Even simple group projects, it knows no borders.

And have you seen how much better China's economy is compared to ours? Privatization is the future baby.

We should get back to picking a city for the management to reside though. So far the best ideas are New York, London, Dubai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and the moon. Anybody know which one's the most likely?

I'd probably go with Geneva, considering how it is home to UN offices and was the home of the League of Nations. Plus, considering the USA is going downhill fast, I don't really want to put my eggs into New York City.

If I can only choose a city in my own country for that status though, as much as I am biased to Saskatoon, I feel that Toronto probably deserves the slot.

Denver

It's the most inoffensive option (that isn't a shithole), therefore won't cause civil war and revolution


Or, at least, delay it.

London or Rome, the only cities that have been the seat of empires that ruled the world.

"The world."

London, I'd grant. They had an empire that heavily affected virtually ever person on Earth, even the ones not in their Empire. But in what way, exactly, did Rome ever rule the world?

Rome had an Empire named after it, you might've heard about "The Roman Empire" which ruled about half (or 2 thirds) of Europe, as well as Syria, North Africa, and THE HOLY LAND.

There is also a little region, sometimes called "the Orient," which you might have heard about. If you're an astute student of world geography, you might notice that an Empire that had strong influence over barely 1/3 of the civilised world at that time can't in any real sense be considered to be "ruling the world."

China alone had as much power and influence as the Roman Empire at its height, to say nothing of all the South Asian principalities.
