| More capitals that make no sense:
Albany, New York (NYC??)
Austin, Texas (Dallas? Houston?)
Springfield, Illinois (CHICAGO????)
I always wanted to live in either Australia or Canada (same language, metric system, less insane)

| RK lover, isn't NYC in a different state, hence not being the capital? And I'm sure there's plenty of other capitals that aren't the big city. Just look at Washington, D.C. for instance. Or Canberra in Australia. But that one has a story as to why. Both Sydney and Melbourne wanted to be the capital, and they couldn't decide bewteen the 2, so they built a town approximately halfway between the two. Now that's smart. |

| Uh, New York City is in New York State(New York, New York?).
I was just giving some examples. Most of the time there's a good reason for having the capital somewhere else.

| Let's play a game: I name something America has, and you top it with something Australia has.
America has...  the Grand Canyon!!
