Realistically, nowhere in the Anglosphere, nor in Europe.

Bangkok, perhaps.

But World Government (barring nuclear annihilation) probably will happen in the future, and the world language will be, well, English.

Hong Kong. Core of the most dynamic part of the world, at the edge of the oldest and most populous civilization, and one of the economically freest places on earth. English is an official language, but not the dominant language. It satisfies everyone. Problem is, finding the space for the World Government HQ.

Gabarone.

Realisitically, there'd be some kind of rotation policy. At present, the closest thing to the capital of the world is obiously NYC.

That would be Toronto, actually.

Perhaps in percentage of foreigners, but NYC has communities from practically every country in the world.

Ok, but it is one of the top ones, and it has a large economy and population.

NY has been the capital of the world for such a long time, changing the status quo simply makes no sense to me Smiley

And it is....Seriously, kids in Tamil Nadu are starting to speak Hindi now.

As for the poll, Timbuktu obviously.
