If not in DC...

[specific_name]

New York City. It would probably have stayed there if was not for the need to have the capitol in the "middle" and for that matter not within a state. It really makes sense if you think about it... UK=London, Germany=Berlin, USA=New York.

No not really. Ever heard of these cities?

New Delhi, Ottawa, Wellington, Canberra, Abidjan, Astana, Islamabad, etc

Yes, I know the capital of every country. There are good reasons for a capital city to placed somewhere other than the most populous/well known place. However I remember the question having to do with what the most likely place would be if it wasn't DC. If DC was never created, NYC or Philadelphia probably would have been the capital city of the US.

You actually know the capital of every country?  How odd. All those Soviet Republics and all, put me out of the running permanently. What is the capital of that rogue split off from Moldavia, and no cheating now! 

I suppose you mean Moldova right? It's Chisinau. The split off never became an autonomous nation...and I can't spell it right, but I know what you're referring to...in the spirit of not cheating I won't look up the correct spelling of that territory which wanted to be independent
