i’m wheezing thank you
Never thought of it like that
“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
Nuuk has nukes
I see you have culture as well
Greenland has the aliens
The Ottoman Empire ruined the best city in the world.
Kevinglas Olmedo ? Then why would Napoleon declare this while it was under Ottoman possession and had been so for over 350 years?
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!
Sydney possible
Geneve ?😂😭😭
Or Moscow
I’d think Singapore
The top global cities are New York and London. I'd go with New York as the capital.
7:16. "The United nations is a thing that exists". What a simple yet glorious definition.

"If the Earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital."
- Napoleon Bonaparte
But napoleon died and his ideas too
@@Klaus-cl3hr his ideas formed the modern day view of a nation
Ar az hmmm I thought that was collective effort of the french people….anyways WhatsApp university grads like you have the true information
@@Klaus-cl3hr well then you should discredit every historical figure because no one can achieve anything big on their own. Every revolutionary wave, be it the end of slavery or the separation of state and church, was the result of a collective effort.
Napoleon was a major step to a world without monarchs. He supported the idea of equality under the law, careers open to merit rather than blood and so on.
Obviously he was an autocrat and went back to monarchy structures as the time passed, but he put this new ideology into the world which changed it forever
Ar az yea revolutions happen due to people and by the people….a particular figure is just face of a revolution…..more like personification of a great idea…..but in the end all the credit goes to the people not the leaders
I think it should be New York or Geneva but Napoleon said “If the world had a capital it would be Istanbul”
In Napoleon's time Istanbul was called Constantinople
Yes but napoleon is a crappy thief
Yeah but Napoleon said that at a time when the Ottoman Empire still ruled the Middle East. A lot’s changed and Istanbul is nowhere near as significant as it was
Constantinople*
I'd go with switzerland for the capital. Their flag is already a big plus and that's a huge positive for me

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.
Why Brussels? I understand why The Hague (World Court) and Geneva (important peace city) but why brussels?
@@kets4443, isn't Brussels the Capital of the EU? I think that alone would qualify it for consideration as a Capital of the World.
@@richardcramer1604 yes i know brussels is eu capital but the EU is only 1/10 of the world, not all of it.
@@kets4443, You've convinced me, I retract my nomination of Brussels as World Capital. I prefer a more neutral city than Brussels (it would probably favor the EU over the rest of the world in any dispute). So my number 1 & 2 choices for World Capital City is Geneva and Zurich Switzerland. Switzerland has a several hundred year reputation for neutrality, making for an ideal choice for World Capital.
@@richardcramer1604 I mean brussels also has NATO HQ so it could still be a valid city
A big reason for Geneva having more UN organization headquarters than New York: Geneva was the seat of the interwar-era League of Nations.
Good Point!
Too bad nobody actually cares about the Geneva Suggestions because there's no place for playing nice in war
Geneva doesnt exist what are you talking about
Whose mission statement was to not take over the world
The actual answer is Washington D.C., as it's the capital of the country that controls the world.
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...
Renegade yes, I think I would like nuuk greenland

@@brremsilverte.9022 I'd like to nuke greenland
Good idea that way if aliens come and try to destroy the world capital, they will just destroy a village in Greenland
Spelling is Nuuk.
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 .
Singapore is perfectly situated to represent Oceania anyway , it's a bit superfluos to add australia & surrounds as basically it's own entity , while west/central asia is far too far away from it to be represented by it, it'd be better to do something like situating Singapore to rep east asia/oceania & Tehran to rep west asia, if Tehran wasn't so politically ostracized, Dubai could work instead ig
@@Marcusjnmc Singapore isn’t in Oceania though. As a kiwi I would like our capital to actually be in our continent.
It’ll be better for Singapore to represent south east Asia and Pacific
Maybe Johannesburg for Africa? The UN does a lot of stuff there…
The Hague🇳🇱 - peace capital
Cairo🇪🇬 - historical capital
Shanghai🇨🇳- business capital

Buisness could be 🇯🇵tokyo instead of shanghai afterall japan is very rich especially if you compare how many people live in the country compared to their money.
@@OoOoOgways The Hague is already the peace capital of the world, besides it holds the International court of peace and justice and Reykjavik has none of em despite being peacefull in that sense. But as for Rome, and Tokyo, they are good fits.

"Historically, London is the capital of the world" wouldn't that be Rome?
depends on which part of history
@@ibx2cat fair enough yea
Not really, Rome was an empire but a "regional", the first global empire was the Spanish and then the British, although the British was larger it lived less than the Spanish, and neither of those live even a tenth of what Rome did, so I wouldn't put the capital in neither of those countries. I would probably go with Singapore as a more globalized version of Switzerland.
The British Empire was far larger and had far more people than the Roman Empire ever did
Rome over london in my opinion
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*
It's also the capital of FedEx. Does that make it qualify as the capital of the world?
My dad has been to memphis. I like my dad so i will agree with you sir.
What about a capital in the moon, no won claimed it jet
U.S. or Egypt?
bruh Memphis is a trash hole, its literally the single most dangerous city in the US
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.
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.
London would probably be the answer 100 years ago and have a stronger case than any city today.. But now its pretty much New York Jr the only advantage it really has over New York is that its also the Capitol of the UK.
@@guppy719 New York Jr in what metric? 😂
Relatively early, so here's a waffle recipe:
2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add all ingredients to list

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.

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
this is a whole lotta britbonger copium--the real answer is NYC
Also as a linguistically inclined person, it's my duty to correct you on the spread of English--it wasn't just the UK. The US and UK essentially had equal parts in establishing English as the global language. Without all of the content made in English coming out of the US, English would have no staying power abroad. This is one of the main reasons why Spanish, French, and especially Mandarin are not becoming the global language. They have no content. The internet, coding languages, films & tv shows, novels, video games, etc, most of it was from and continues to be from the US. Children in non-English speaking countries just naturally end up falling into learning English by virtue of being a part of their society which interacts with much American made content.
@@jeremias-serus I agree with your second comment but definitely not with the first one. The US definitely had a pretty big effect. The US colonised the Philippines after all and occupied Western Europe during WW2. As well as that, it's the only current superpower. But still, the UK still managed to invade almost every country in the world and has had the biggest empire in the world. The US media definitely had an effect but that's only been true for the past 40 years for the most part
@@Ricky911_ That's just copium. Since World War 2, and especially since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US has effectively had shadow control over the West and to an extent most of the world. Its the only superpower still around even.

if we make the address of the world government "Nuuk, The World", that might send a false signal to potential alien visitors.

outside the US, no one says cities comma country. we just say the city. nobody says "Oh I went to paris, france on vacation and then to rome, italy". only in the us they do that i think
@@thefootballplanet5784 I think that's mostly for postcards and mail. Another reason could be because of how many cities and towns in the US have the same name. The biggest city in Maine and Oregon are both called Portland. And of course it just depends on what part of the country you live in, because if your in the northwest people will know you mean Portland Oregon when saying I went to Portland the other day.

land trade doesn't really matter so much anymore, & rome has no histotical significance to a lot of the world besides , constantinople/istanbul has more historical weight due to being the capital of 2 continent spanning empires but it really lost it's place as a centerpoint of world trade centuries ago now as it was bypassed & is still bypassed, london has world spanning historical weight but has like constantinopal before it been sidelined to some degree now , as far as the prior century's history goes geneva or new york probably has more claim than london does, if it's about being central, dubai, singapore, rotterdam all have a strong case, though the highest volumes of international trade by sea/air generally go to singapore/hong kong respectively iirc
adendum on london, in terms of international flow of people pre pandemic & international money passing into it's economy it's the world center , so not so sidelined now as it had been in the the latter 20th century

Like in most countries, there are local governments. If there was some delay of communication, it was the local Wuhan government, which got replaced afterwards. If you'd actually researched the facts and the timeline instead of reading sentional headlines, China reacted a lot faster than the US handled the Swine flu, which is still killing people today.

obviously there is no "capital of the world" in political terms. neither should there be. but NYC definelty used to be until very recently the popular cultural capital of the world.
Imagine been A polish teenager with your French friends chilling at times square staring at Mexican girls XD. but nowadays that city got run down into the mud and no one took its crown just yet. LA is a shithole and London is the closest thing to it but is spiraling so fast idek if it counts.
why don't we just make a gigantic fuck-off aircraft carrier that floats around as the capital
Your thumb nail is Seattle that's what caught my eye, but no mention?
Wuhan
i don't think Wuhan will have a population in some time...
Captain Chair Im pretty sure it has over 15M (correct me if im wrong plz)
I dont think we should make the capital of the world where the bubonic plague and cOroNA vIruS started
Too many viruses start there
Faith Langridge 10 only now. 5 million peopleleft Wuhan right before the lockdown of the city
That NYC street view is making me want to go outside. I actually miss taking the subway every day.
Everyone :Aliens could or will invade us
Me(Savage): Maybe we could invade them haha
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)
_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.
this was really interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. It's such a popular propagandist tric to say: "Look at them! Those people are crzy, they just randomly deside what is city and what isn't!" When in reality authers themselfs are ignorant.
@@user-nt8wh3cg8r they precisely explained how it was a trick to get more control over the land, lol
LittleWhole 你也是中国人吗？
So just call it a prefecture not a city
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
wala Ogele same
He got popular on minecraft because he was a geography nerd tho
me too
@@TheRenegade... really?
So did I.
We build a massive island somewhere to build a capital on
What is the deal with the dotted lines forming a box in the north pacific?
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.
lizard ledgend so neutral they didnt even Join the Eu.....
@@denja964 what's with the "....."
lizard ledgend was just pointing it out
@@denja964 Oh right, generally the dots at the end mean there's more to say. I was just confused as to why you added that.
i still would think if there is really to be a world capitol, it shouldn't be in any country. politicians are mean...
we can build a city in the pacific or the atlantic lmao
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.
Can't fault that logic
Reunion is amazingly beautiful. And great waves as well.
Leave it alone.
Shhh 🤫
@@Ron.S. nah los angeles is better than reunion. They have great weather, and hollywood, and celebrities. They have great waves too
Turn on subtitles and go to 4:02 “so that’s pretty Nazi”
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".
Why does the thumbnail look like it was made in Minecraft
I think it was...
It is
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
AurorusFan the iss?
International space station
Ok we chould do that but how will people live there, when noone ones it?
@Cyrus Antony I feel like you couldn't call "the moon" the capitol, at that point if we're taking large planetary bodies into consideration we might as well say Earth is the capitol of Earth
@Cyrus Antony yes the capital of the earrh should be on the moon, which is not on earth
Yeah I agree, Tokyo for population, New York for influence and Geneva for organisation
I’d say it is Dhaka because the city is in the most ideal location in the world, because it has a combination of being a good port, and close to the center of population.
79 views only? Wow.
(Its Nuuk, obviously.)
@@Dabs_All_Ovar no, Nuuk is the capital of greenland.
Bloon destroyer and the capital of the world
Either Vienna, Constantinople, Rome or Tokyo.
"If the Earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital." -Napoleon Bonaparte
I agree with napoleon, the most hestoric city should be the capital, and constatinople has a huge history
I would argue Rome ore new York
Rome because it's historic
New York because it's a pretty global city
Bring back Carthage, down with Rome!
@@Big.hossss Bring back Alexander's Greece! Down with the persians
@@Plutonium2000 its barely at the center of everything nowdays, like it used to be in the 1800s. Its still an international city, but not the most significant of the world.
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 ?
If you had any other answer than London you're not colonised enough
Verified bur no likes and no replies I'm 1 week impossible
Do you play paradox games?!?! I think you'd enjoy Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings, etc.
This vid would be really short though. Ulm is, would and should be the capital of the world.
d lmao um is strongest!
London
Source: I live in London
Everyone gangsta until aliens colonise the whole world and set Chernobyl as the capital
This may sound weird but I think that it could be Brussels, since its also the capital of Europe
