A capital is the area of a country, province, region, or state, regarded as enjoying primary status; although there are exceptions, a capital is almost always a city which physically encompasses the offices and meeting places of the seat of government and fixed by law. Alternate terms include capital city and political capital; the latter phrase has a second meaning based on an alternative sense of capital. Usually, a capital city is the largest city in that country but not always. The word capital is derived from the Latin caput meaning "head," and, in the United States, the related term Capitol refers to the building where government business is chiefly conducted. The seats of government in major sub-state jurisdictions are often called "capitals", but this is typically the case only in countries with some degree of federalism, where major substate jurisdictions have an element of sovereignty. In unitary states, "administrative center" or other similar terms are typically used. For example, the seat of government in a U.S. state is usually called its "capital", but the main city in a region of England is usually not, even though in Ireland, a county's main town is usually regarded as its capital. At lower administrative subdivisions, terms such as county town, county seat, or borough seat are usually used. Historically, the major economic center of a state or region often becomes the focal point of political power, and becomes a capital through conquest or amalgamation. This was the case for London, Berlin, and Moscow. The capital naturally attracts the politically motivated and those whose skills are needed for efficient administration of government such as lawyers, journalists, and public policy researchers. A capital that is the prime economic, cultural, or intellectual center is sometimes referred to as a primate city. Such is certainly the case with Paris, London and Madrid among national capitals, and Milan, Irkutsk or Phoenix in their respective state or province.

1. Edinburgh: the city that has it all
November 17, 2009
As the political, cultural and historical capital of Scotland, Edinburgh is a city that has something for everyone. From the ancient, meandering streets off the Old Town and the Royal Mile, flanked at each end by an ancient castle and a royal place, to the Greek-inspired architecture of the New Town, the city is very much a mix of old and, well, not so old. Edinburgh’s famous skyline is probably best viewed from Arthur’s Seat, a hill in the centre of the city formed by moving glaciers some two million years ago. The view from the top is breathtaking and is well worth the moderately-difficul... (read more)
