I like the idea of an El Doradan capital, but way too many mexicans. Can you imagine how high the crime rate would be?

Rather presumptious this is

How? It's inevitable that the socialist governments of the world will all collapse and corporations will ne to pick up the pieces. It's simple common sense.

Now, the suggested cities that I believe the future world CEO is most likely to reside seem to be New York, London, Dubai, Tokyo, or building a new one on the moon. Would it make a difference which city it was if selected by an American or Chinese corporation?

Tbh, I think a city in a neutral country, such as Zurich in Switzerland, would make the most sense as a world capital from a diplomatic standpoint.
