The capital of the World is W get your facts straight

“If the Earth were a single state, Constantinople would be its capital.” Napoleon Bonaparte. At the time it could be true. I dont think it applies for today tho, Nuuk is the obvious answer

Before clicking this, I thought, "New York, London, Tokyo, or Geneve would make the most sense." Glad to see I'm not alone in my thought process!

7:16. "The United nations is a thing that exists". What a simple yet glorious definition.

“I’ve always thought it should be a target for terrorist stuff”

The world government seriously needs to just claim Western Sahara, build a floating city off the coast, call it Atlantis, and sink it with everyone on it.

We all know chad is the capital of the universe, so it should be the world's too

Well you could take the South Africa route and have like 4 capitals. Make them NYC, Geneva, Tokyo, and whatever else you want. Maybe the 4th capital should be Nuuk?

2:04 A whole new meaning to "England is my city"

5:59 please don’t nuke Greenland

"If the Earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital." - Napoleon Bonaparte

I think it should be New York or Geneva but Napoleon said “If the world had a capital it would be Istanbul”

I'd go with switzerland for the capital. Their flag is already a big plus and that's a huge positive for me

"It should be a target for like, terrorist stuff" interesting phrasing

london is one of the main contenders according to me since gmt is how countries compare time ig? it also has the historical presence for it and is considered central since its between alot of major world powers. new york, geneva, tokyo and new delhi are close contenders for me tho

I've always thought that if the world united, while using New York as the temporary seat of government, one of the first big projects should be building a **Brand New** Capital City. Maybe make Null Island an actual man-made Island and put it there. Or maybe have it be in a more symbolic or significant location, like outside of Baghdad, assuming stability isn't an issue anymore.

Bro imagine being the “Capital of the world” and not being the capital of your own state. This post was sponsored by Rome Gang

A big reason for Geneva having more UN organization headquarters than New York: Geneva was the seat of the interwar-era League of Nations.

Imagine everyone flying to Nuuk for a world convention 😂

The Hague🇳🇱 - peace capital Cairo🇪🇬 - historical capital Shanghai🇨🇳- business capital Rio🇧🇷 - holiday capital New York🇺🇸 - THE capital

Yes, we should make a new city called Nuke Greenland and make it the world capital. It doesn't matter if it's some random village in the middle of the desert that we renamed to Nuke Greenland because we could...

him : "the capital of the world could be geneva" me, as a citizen of geneva, a city that no one ever talks about : *proud*

All throughout your video I wondered when you were going to mention London, of course you waited for the end. I think Geneva, Brussels, and even the Hague all are good choices.

Ideally we’d build a city combining all of those properties and declare it the property of all countries

Toycat: beam cannon Me: why does Geneva have a bean cannon

“There’s no world territory, until the aliens invade” -toycat Can’t wait for that to happen.

Here’s my thinking . If the world was one huge territory I feel as though it would either have to have 3 capitals or a capital in every habites continent . So for the tree capitals we could go with Geneva as the government headquarters. New York as the financial headquarters and maybe Tokyo or Singapore for global influence. Or for the 6 continental capitals maybe Geneva for Europe, New York for North America, Brasilia ,Rio or Lima for South America, Nairobi for Africa , Tokyo or Singapore for Asia and Sydney or Auckland for Oceania .

I love how the UN institutions with headquarters in Rome are all food related lol

Turn Switzerland into one city, historically neutral and well defended as it is protected by the Alps.

WW3, winner gets to pick which city is capital

Fun fact: The largest city by area in China is the Bayingolin Autonomous Prefecture, which is bigger than Cameroon

I think we should make it in Gay, Russia.

Relatively early, so here's a waffle recipe: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder 2 tablespoons white sugar 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups warm milk 1/3 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Add all ingredients to list Directions Prep 10 m Cook 15 m Ready In 25 m In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended. Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.

if we make the address of the world government "Nuuk, The World", that might send a false signal to potential alien visitors. "Take me to your leader!" - "Go to Nuuk, The World!"

4 capitals: New York, London, Paris, Munich. Everybody talk about.... POP MUZIK

toycat asking the real questions

Google is forcing you underground because it knows your needs for a cave update.

I think Memphis because I live there and it’s a COOL city. *this comment was brought to you by the tourism board of Memphis*

I would say London. I grew up there but there's no bias. I genuinely think it should be the world capital. First of all, it's the centre of the world as it has Greenwich. It also has or has had a massive sphere of influence over the rest of the world. Navigators often used to go down the Thames to colonise and trade with the rest of the world. As well as that, it's probably had the biggest influence in Asia. Despite all of the bad things that happened in India, the country is also a lot more advanced due to the UK. It's soon gonna be the most populated in the world. Japan also had a lot of influence by the UK, especially during the Meiji period, hence why they drive on the left side. In fact, Britain helped build the first railroad network in Japan which were all running on the left side. Even the way countries use decimals is because of the UK. Europe (except for the UK and Ireland), uses decimal commas. However, most of the world uses decimal points. That's because the UK uses decimal points so that system got transferred to all the colonies as well as most of Asia, including China, Japan and India. The UK has always had a massive influence on the rest of the world and it's for that reason that the city of London, the capital of the UK, is so multicultural. After WW2, London's population started to shrink and, while I'm not sure why, I think it might have to do with people moving out of the city. However, towards the end of the century, the city started to get repopulated due to immigration. I don't know how many people in the UK have foreign background but it's probably the majority. I myself have Italian background from my parents and I actually didn't even know so many of my classmates had foreign background until I got Instagram. Aside from Asians and Africans, there's a lot of people who don't have roots in the UK but still blend in. Obviously, certain people have features that stand out. For example, I have dark hair and brown eyes so my Southern European heritage stands out. This isn't the case for everyone though. There are mainly 2 reasons for the immigration. The first one is the British Empire, as lots of people from former colonies are coming to the UK. In fact, the UK is the only European country that has India as its primary source of migrants. That's not a coincidence. Another reason is the quality of life. London has a lot of jobs and an amazing quality of life. Realistically speaking, the best major country to live in is either Germany or the UK. London is also a popular place to move to for business. It's a massive financial hub and it has a lot of opportunities, unlike New York, which is shrinking. I wouldn't remotely pick New York as the world capital if I had to be honest. The quality of life is bad and the population is shrinking. In fact, London overtook New York in population back in 2014. It's also not as multicultural and it mostly only has immigration from Asia and the Americas whereas London has immigration from all over the world except maybe the Americas. New York is also a city in the US. There's not many other countries around it. London, on the other hand, is surrounded by multiple other countries, naturally making it a cultural hub for Europe as well as some parts of Africa and West Asia. One last important point to make is that it's an English-speaking city. English is the language of the world and it's because of Britain. Geneva might speak French but conventions are still done in English. I don't think there's much to debate in the end. Sure, there's many more cities that have a much bigger population but their sphere of influence has never been anywhere close to that of London. Tokyo may be the biggest city in the world but it's Britain that created Tokyo, not the other way around. Before the US, France and Britain came along, Tokyo was known as "Edo". It was renamed Tokyo only because of the West and it wouldn't have the same government if Britain hadn't helped 2 Japanese provinces at overthrowing it (long story). China might have a lot of big cities but they were never a cultural hub. China is still a developing country and up until WW2, it was just a chunk of land divided in between the nations of the world. India just sort of grew up getting their independence from, again, the UK. There's not much to deny it. London really is the capital of the world

I like the little island idea!

You could make a case for London as it is the “Center of time” in the world with Greenwich mean Time

The capital city is clearly the island of bikini.

Imo, it should be London, it's basically the standard for time and map orientation as well as historic reason and its arguably the most financially important city and is divided and accessible to all the major world powers.

Considering the timezones the whole world operates on of which London's timezone is in the very centre, it does make sense that London would be the capital. That gets my vote.

"Historically, London is the capital of the world" wouldn't that be Rome?

Rome’s nickname is CAPVT MVNDI: literally Capital of the World in latin

If I had a dime for each time he said "city" in this video, I would be a very wealthy man.

Talking a bit more seriously I think Geneva is a good choice. It’s really neutral, there’s already a lot of UN buildings that it makes up for the fact that the UN HQ isn’t there, and usually capitals aren’t these very populous cities like New York.

"Nuuk, Greenland" Well, I... guess... If you have to nuke something, best choose a place where no one lives.

Wikipedia has a rating for cities, with A++ being the most important (Currently NY and London)

Everyone :Aliens could or will invade us Me(Savage): Maybe we could invade them haha

I’ve also been to Shinjuku (I spelled that’s wrong, didn’t I?) and I’m also very confused at the grand total of 2 people there in the StreetView lol

No it’s Guam. Yako was telling us something.

5:17 "I've been to Shinjuku" *Show a footage of Tokyo station*

I think realistically it makes sense to either be Geneva or London, they’re central, they’re extremely important cities both historically and contemporarily.

the large hadron collider aint gonna kill anyone

As a child I always claimed it was the capital of Micronesia. It was because i had a list of countries, and Micronesia was in the middle.

International space station it’s in every country

What is the deal with the dotted lines forming a box in the north pacific?

London, Rome and Constantinople are the best contenders Especially Constantinople due to it's geography as the link between Europe & Asia

Chongqing is pronounced Chong-Ching. I know it sounds even funnier now

Capitals usually feel like a cultural center for whatever country/state/territory/province it's in. I can't think of any singular city that feels like the cultural center of humanity/Earth. You could also pick just whatever city the aliens would find valuable enough to destroy first

Take a shot every time he says "city".

If it's based on influence, I'd say London due to it's economic power.

_Technically,_ prefecture-level cities aren’t _really_ cities, my city of Suzhou encompasses the cities of Suzhou, Kunshan, Zhangjiagang, Taicang, and Changshu. We call them individual cities, using the denominator 市 for city instead of the denominator 区 for district, even though the official city is the prefecture-level city. The prefecture-level city administrative division really only exists to decide what greatest municipal government controls what land.

The Capital of the world should certainly be Pyongyang!

Kracow because the first time i went there, 2 cars crashed infront of me in less than like 15 mins and the first shop i went to there was a guy breaking beers and dropping them to the floor, shouting kurwa.

I really thought this question 1000 times

The capital of the world is clearly Ulm smh.

That NYC street view is making me want to go outside. I actually miss taking the subway every day.

It should be in Africa with London time zone. Almost everywhere can be awake to have a conference call at noon. It's an early morning for the Americas and late evening for East Asia Australia, but nobody lives where it's midnight while London is midday. Africa to keep things non Europe centric.

I wanna go with singapore because I think its kind of central populationwise if you take into account travel time (by plane or by boat). It is a big city with international influence. And finally it is a micro-state which makes it more neutral than any super-power. What do you think ?

Fun fact: I knew this channel before I knew about ibxtoycat and I thought he was some geography nerd but then I found out he plays minecraft for a living

Why not going with the South African model and having 3 capital cities: New York, Geneva, and Tokyo. Problem solved

What is the most geographically centrally located city in the world? If Alaska west, Chukotka East, Chile South, and Greenland North. I assume somewhere in Libya.

I’ve seen a couple of this guy’s videos and I really think he’d find much greater success in this platform if he took just a few minutes before filming each video to organize his thoughts.

I would say the most influential city by far is Wuhan

Answer: London Why: it exists

id say anchorage, alaska, simply because it is literally where everything stops delivery wise, and it will be way more important in the future when some more ice melts

I think Singapore is a good option since it is a city state, so it could govern without the bias as like Newyork could have with USA. Also it’s very populated and near a lot of big countries. At the same time tho it’s an island so it’s also isolated.

I think that Saint-Phillipe, Reunion should be the capital of the world, because it is closest to the antipodal point of Los Angeles, which is the worst city in the world, it must be the best city in the world, and therefore the capital.

Imo I would go for Geneva. Switzerland has always been neutral in world conflicts and affairs and is a very well defended country. A lot of countries are very untrusting of the US and for very good reasons. Geneva has always been a city of international unity and that symbolism is a lot more important than anything else.

If we use GDP of the whole metropolitan area and combine that with other things such as influence you are left with London or New York City.

I think its either Washington D.C. or Geneva, Washington D.C. rules the US and US has such large influence, I think it would make sense and geneva, because it's like the international city, where all the large organizations are, where international projects are etc.

NYC has the UN, Wall Street, and over 800 languages are spoken within its borders which makes it quite a global city

Either Vienna, Constantinople, Rome or Tokyo. "If the Earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital." -Napoleon Bonaparte

Him: Vacitan is the most smallest country. Sealand: are you sure about that?

fun fact, back in the days the romans used the Latin expression "Caput Mundi" for cities that reached a global influence in the then known world. Rome usually ended up being the main subject of the expression as "Roma Caput Mundi", and some centuries later, few modern cities, especially London in the late middle age and New York nowadays have been defined as "Novum(new) Caput Mundi". And the coolest aspect of all of this was 5 yo me that asked his dad what the capital of the world was and was told "Well you see, it used to be Rome but now it's definitely New York".

I was in Japan for the 1st 2 weeks of March this year and spend 1 of those weeks in Tokyo near shinjuku station and it was the busiest train station I had ever seen, and that was during COVID-19.

79 views only? Wow. (Its Nuuk, obviously.)

We should take the top few (say 5) options and do a percentage amount based on a one time vote (cause I don't want to keep voting over and over)

Also, if we think center of population but project ourselves in a not-so distant future (with Africa being the most populated), we might as well pick Lagos, Nigeria the biggest city. It is also not far from the center of the usual European maps and Sao Tome. If we prefer to keep it close to india, Djibouti is a city-state on an important trade road and might make the cut

The capital of the world should be in orbit around Earth as similar to Antarctica no one owns it and it would be a middle ground between Earth and the future in space

Do you play paradox games?!?! I think you'd enjoy Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings, etc.

if i had to throw a few cities into the ring id say new york, geneva, london, or an Australian city (not sure which city is the most prominent)

i'd go with istanbul because of iits strategic location dardanalles for the security from east sariyer from west and its a trnscontinental city its a major trade route

Wuhan

Dhaka, Bangladesh - Its in the middle of the world’s largest and most important cities. - River - Near Mountain - Near Sea - Has ameniti- wrong game

Build a floating city in the center of the world, near São Tomé and Principe, call it Atlantis, give each country and equally sized slice of the city, build a big circle building in the middle and call it a day.

Baku because it is a city to watch out for i reckon - that is as the changing world power is focusing more and more on the middle east rising in power. I could choose any city in this western asia/ middle eastern area but baku just seems like a fun option
