Line 7:
Compare with [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe]] and [[Big Applesauce]], when ''everything'' takes place in Tokyo or New York. See [[Merchant City]] for the capitalist version of the '''Capital City''', and [[Holy City]] for the religious equivalent—either one could overlap. Often has shades of [[Shining City]]. May also be a [[Hub Level]].

== Anime and Manga ==
* The planet Mid-Childa in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', a bustling inter-world hub that contains the headquarters of both the [[The Federation|Time-Space Administration Bureau]] and the [[The Church|Belkan Saint Church]].
Line 55:
** The former capital of the fallen nation of Lordaeron used to be either called Lordaeron or the Capital City prior to its destruction by the Scourge. Ten thousand years ago, the capital of the [[Our Elves Are Different|Night Elves]] was Zin-Azshari, which was swallowed by water during the Sundering. Thanks to a [[Deal with the Devil]], the city was not destroyed but sank to the bottom of the sea intact.
** For reference, the other major current capitals are Exodar (Draenei) and Gilneas City (Worgen) for the Alliance and Thunder Bluff (Tauren) and Silvermoon (Blood Elves) Bilgewater Harbor (Goblins) for the Horde.
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls
** Also semi-averted in the form of Kvatch, which is nearly as large as the Imperial City and even has an arena. It's only a semi-aversion because the city gets [[Kick the Dog|razed to the ground by the Daedra]] before the player ever gets to see it.
** Played straight in the ''Shivering Isles'' expansion for ''Oblivion'', in that the divided city of Bliss/Crucible, capital of the Shivering Isles, is not available until you've finished the introductory quest. Until then, you're restricted to the village of Passwall.
Line 61:
** The ''actual'' Capital City of [[Morrowind]], however, is Mournhold, [[Shining City|City of Light]] (and don't forget the magic) - although it doesn't initially seem as big as Vivec. King Helseth has his home here, as does [[Physical God|Almalexia]]. The Tribunal expansion takes place in the city.
*** Meanwhile, the technical capital of Vvardenfell (the province where the main part of the game is set) is Ebonheart, which amounts to not much more than a couple of Imperial-style buildings housing the Imperial-appointed Duke and some consular services, across the waterfront from Vivec City.
* Every country in ''[[
** Like, the state?
* Koorong in ''[[SaGa Frontier]]'', the only city in the game from which you can travel to all of the others; the others only have a handful of destinations. Manhattan probably has more people, but you only have to visit there in a couple of the quests, and there aren't nearly as many buildings to go into.
