I've thought about a few existing cities but their problems were that they are not "Fit" enough for the implications of this event.

Most cities around Central Europe hold more historic value than actual value due to the preservation acts which are in place.
We need to place down "a ruling coalition" which holds more power than any other one has had so far...

We need to establish a city specifically to accommodate our needs which will be rapid-transit roads for commerce, prioritized safety for the CEO building, adapted RCI zoning to apply the new society functions.
And a city like Prague for instance is the whole opposite...

Prague is overly clogged and has improvised infrastructures which are the result of years upon years of adding roads next to roads. On several occasions the presidential palace was breached by people who actually accidentally walked upon it and once even intentionally when they pulled down the national banner and put up GIANT RED TROUSERS there.
And as a result of the city being so old, RCI is poorly zoned out and that leads to people being stuck in traffic jams just to get to work in the same square.


Ah, you did a good analysis on it there. :p

It would also make it next to impossible to threaten the capital by a military force, because you'd have to threaten five of them, thinning your military.

Fixed that for you.

I considered that, but due to their close proximity to a very likely hostile nation, I didn't think it was the best idea. If Korea was unified, then yes.

Well if your going to limit it to areas where earthquakes, tsunamis or other natural disasters are uncommon or unlikely you dont have many options.

Yes you do.

Im a slightly Authoritarian Moderate, I believe limited monarchies are the best systems of government, and that every 2016 presidential candidate was an idiot.
I personally feel that most people, in the act of trying to sound smart, often usually don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

I don't think NYC or London are good choices for a world capital. Significant parts of the world would probably object to being ruled from there.

I think it would have to be a city in a neutral developed country with little or no history of imperialism and a reasonable human rights record. Maybe Dublin or somewhere in Switzerland.

Well, half the world was ruled from London for quite some time. A fourth of the world was ruled by Versailles for some time. Before London took its place, the world was pretty much ruled by Madrid.

Why Dublin? Honestly Geneva wouldn't be a bad choice considering Switzerland is a neutral country. I still think NYC or London would be a good choice. However Paris or Rome would be good choices too.
