Talk:Capital
From Academic Kids
This page says:
- A capital is the location of the seat of government
- A capital may be seperate from the location of the seat of government

You wouldn't think it but it is virtually impossible to find a non-circular definition of capital on the internet. Bensaccount 13:46, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Capital- Architecturally Speaking
I followed a link in the Secular Medieval Architecture section and ended-up with the political definition of capital. For those of you who have suffered the same fate, here is the correct link:

Although, I don't see what is circular about definining a political or economic capital. It is the major (jointly or alone) or sole location of decision making processes. Or perhaps I am being overly simplistic? Also, I tend to think not only in terms of modern society, but also ancient and medieval as well.

Definition of "capital"
Can a capital be the entirety of an entity? — Instantnood 04:01 Mar 2 2005 (UTC)
- I suppose so, in the case of small nations like Vatican City, Singapore, etc. Funnyhat 01:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
Rio de Janeiro
The city of Rio de Janeiro was never corrupt. The Brazilian politicians wanted to move away from the eyes of the population, when they moved to Brasília. The politicians were the ones corrupt in that case not the city itself.
