State capitals

[Flint1979]

If Florida had to choose a new capital I'd agree with Lakeland. It's really close to the population center of the state. Perhaps Tampa or Orlando would work too. The population center is Lake Wales.

But Miami is the best city!!!

[kphoger]

Capital would be moved to Miami, which would expand to include entire Miami-Dade County.

You misspelled Miami—Jаde County.

But Miami is the best city!!!

Adding three exclamation points doesn't make us agree with you.

Miami wouldn't work as a state capital.

Nowhere near the center of the state.

I'll bite, why does Poiponen think Miami is the best city in Florida?

[Poiponen13]

I'll bite, why does Poiponen think Miami is the best city in Florida?

Beacuse it is largest metropolitan area and most famous city.

[JayhawkCO]

I'll bite, why does Poiponen think Miami is the best city in Florida?

Largest Finnish population? Most saunas? Seasonal flights to Helsinki?

[Max Rockatansky]

Beacuse it is largest metropolitan area and most famous city.

And the metro population qualifies it has an ideal state capital because why?  I'd argue Orlando and Key West have just as big of a claim to "most famous."

When I think Florida, I think Miami first.

Question, have you ever been to Florida? 

[kphoger]

When I think Florida, I think Miami first.

When I think Morocco, I think Casablanca first.  Therefore Casablanca should be the seat of government?

When I think Switzerland, I think Zürich first.  Therefore Zürich should be the seat of government?

When I think Turkey, I think İstanbul first.  Therefore İstanbul should be the seat of government?

When I think Colombia, I think Cartagena first.  Therefore Cartagena should be the seat of government?

When I think Mali, I think Timbuktu first.  Therefore Timbuktu should be the seat of government?

When I think Algeria, I think Hippo Regius first.  Therefore Annaba should be the seat of government?

What city you think of first isn't necessarily the city that should be the capital.  What city is most famous isn't necessarily the city that should be the capital.

[JayhawkCO]

That's really what you think of first for Algeria? Man, you're a nerd. 

[NWI_Irish96]

When I think Turkey, I think İstanbul first.  Therefore İstanbul should be the seat of government?

I think of Constantinople

[kphoger]

When I think Turkey, I think İstanbul first.  Therefore İstanbul should be the seat of government?

I think of Constantinople

İstanbul was once Constantinople.

[JayhawkCO]

When I think Turkey, I think İstanbul first.  Therefore İstanbul should be the seat of government?

I think of Constantinople

İstanbul was once Constantinople.

And once Byzantium.

[kphoger]

Aw, man, you ruined it.

[kphoger]

That's really what you think of first for Algeria? Man, you're a nerd. 

Well, actually, I first think Paris, because of the '95 terrorist bombings...  But then I think of Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis.  Don't you?

For cities, I just think of Algiers and Oran, the only two cities I know without looking at a map. In reality, I think about Riyad Mahrez and Zinedine Zidane, the former being the best current Algerian soccer player and the latter being the best from Algerian heritage (played for France).

Not to agree with him, but Miami probably is the most famous city in Florida.

Been a long time gone, Constantinople...

When I think of Finland, I think of Poiponen13 first. Therefore Souky should be the capital of Finland.

[Max Rockatansky]

Souky is already the Canadian SSR capital.  Are you saying the Canadian SSR should invade Finland?  I think this is needed.

Yes it is needed. Better do it quick before MMM paves Souky over for his mew interstates.
