Should the EU capital be somewhere else?

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Just for fun, where would be a cool alternate location for the capital of the European Union?

My suggestions:

London (or Liverpool, or Preston)
Copenhagen (or Vejle) (or maybe even Torshavn! or Godthab!)
Frankfurt or Freiburg
Madrid (or Alcala de Henares)
Graz

(nations that aren't in the union... yet)
Stockholm (or Visby)
Oslo (or Stavanger)
Helsinki
Rejkjavik (or Keflavik)

( nations that should be in the Union but never will )
Zurich, Berne, or Winterthur

It would be convenient if Switzerland could join, so the capital could be there. Ah well, Austria is central enough, especially with the members that will be added.

sorry to nitpick but the EU doesn't have a 'capitial', it's not a country. its headquaters are in brussels, and i don't see any reason to move them, although they might consider moving all the functions that reside in strasbourg and luxembourg to brussels to save some money.

Shows how much I know. I thought they had agreed to join but weren't admitted yet. I guess I got confused with the future dates when other nations would have the opportunity to join or something.

But of course the real ultimate EU capital...

The first two lines of the opening post list cities in countries which haven't even adopted the Euro yet. Why should the EU base itself in a country which is only halfheartedly part of it?

Screw the EU as the Fourth Reich, put an eventual capital in Roman and call it the new Roman Empire . Eventual full-time presidents of the Union (it's coming) can be refered to as Caesar. The Parliament can be refered to as the Senate. It'll be all good fun.

We should rename the EU the
"Heilige römische Reich deutscher Nation"
(holy roman empire of the german nation)
and move its Capital to Vienna (AFAIK the last Residence of the Emperor before the empire was officially disbanded in the beginning of the 19th century)

This way we could also have an Emperor (much better than a king like the british have ) although we would have to sight family trees to find out who the heir to the last emperor is
