This Big Vote is to vote for the Earth's capital.Just pick the country you think is the Earth's greatest to offically name it the worlds capital please visit my poll and vote.If your favorite country is not a poll option please leave me a reply to tell me which is your favorite.Although countrys in your reply can not be named The Earth's capital I would like to know which country is your personal favorite.Please note that I am very sorry that I can not put every country on Earth in this poll.Please do not take offense if your country is mentioned.


I would like to mention after reading some replies that the reason for having(Quote) 'random countries' is I didn't want to offend anyone by having large & rich countries.I wanted difference between who I picked instead of staying in the one continent.

First off, wrong forum. This stuff goes in general. Second off, why should a coutry be capital. A city is good enough, and even countries divided into states/provinces/cantons/(insert translation here) have a city, not a state, as their capital. Finally, The earth does not need a capital. There's no reason for it.

The idea of a world government is terrible at best (no offence); the sheer bureaucracy of the thing would be mind-boggling. And, why would you need an entire country as a capital? Wouldn't a city or three be enough?

Those are the most random countries ever. Turkey? Jamaica? New Zealand? South Africa? etc. Seriously, what the fuck.

I move for Reykjavik, Iceland. Think about it - it's on an island, it's peaceful, and when was the last time Iceland was in a war?

This thread is odd indeed. Earth doesn't need a capital, and those are some very random candidates.

I vote Antarctica. Why settle for a country when you can have a continent?

I say the Solar Atlantic Empire. WE ALL ORBIT THE CAPITAL!

Don't ask. Some guy tried to claim the sun as his land. I believe the people in the US who control land ownership sent him a letter back saying they were "unable to consider his claim"

I understand your point, but africa's current situation is so messed up right now that it would not be a good idea to touch it with a long pole. Let alone make it the capital of the world.

true but making it the capital of the world would necessitate taking it over and running it well.

but how about


IRAQ--the cradle of civilization should be the capital of humanity
