Geneva sounds nice...make it a fortress...

[Carl]

This whole debate is pointless because we already know from Star Trek that it's going to be San Fransisco.

By the way, what was it in Babylon 5? Geneva, right?

Yeah, that's right.


But I guess a lot of it depends on which country is the most powerful. The UN was located in New York probably because Europe was devestated by the biggest war in history when it was created.

The reason I think New York or Beijing isn't too probable is because of nationality - it suits the people of one nation,

You could say that about any city in the world. Jeruselem currently belongs to Israel, and no one else. So it would be convenient for people in Israel, but no one else.

Besides, Beijing has the word "capital" in its name already.

Mon Oylmpus on Mars but Geneva sounds good.

[Unknown Target]

I'd say Geneva, most definately.

Greenwich.  Everyone seems to think that it is the center of the universe, so why not it be there?

Sydney! Everyone already thinks it's the nicest place to go for a Holiday, all we need now is a Weapon of Unimaginable Destructive Power (ie. Doomsday Weapon) to force the rest of the world to unite under the banner of Sydney, Australia! *Meniacal Laughter*

See! I was right! (quote me) But I had the city wrong!

[Singh]

Greenwich sounds nice - we already base local times all over the world on it - why not a political presence as well?

Don't you guys have a bigass ozone hole?

New York as my first choice, its rather international and it is a huge hub of commerce for the northern hemisphere.

Rio De Genero, Brazil (excuse my spelling) as my second choice because it functions sort of like New York but in the southern hemisphere instead.

London as my third choice because of its significance throughout the colonial era. Much of the world was under the control of England at one time.

[Scuddie]

Because of the colonial era??  If you're going to use that argument, why not just say Rome?  Rome > London.

Then again so are a lot of major cities. You could say the same thing about Tokyo and Hong Kong for example.

Because the Italian economy sucks.

What on Earth are you on about? Even at the height of the roman empire they still didn't hold as much land as Alexander the Great had.

And during the colonial age they still didn't hold as much land as the UK. In fact they barely held any land at all. The Spanish, French Portuguese and even the Dutch had more land in their colonies than the italians ever had.

[Fury]

I say Geneva because that's the Earth Alliance capital in Babylon 5.

[Clave]

I'd like to say London, but Geneva is far more likely...

Jerusalem is not only at the convergence point of 3 continents, but it's already the world's belly-button and, if you listen to propoganda, the cause of much of the world's problems. Why not?
