yes, which is exactly what sucks

Highly paid bureaucrats live in their own universe, in their own nations, spending all day drinking fancy-ass 5€ coffees and avoid all decisions which would offend somebody -- anybody. Nothing gets done when the leaders are living on their own ivory tower.

There is no such thing as a capital of the EU so the question is basically silly.

Okay then, should the USA capitol be somewhere else?

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Kansas City: right in the middle.
Sacramento: Capital of the most populous state.
Salt Lake City: Just because.
New York City: Most populous city over all, as well as being the capital of the world already.

Prague. It's right in the middle, doesn't belong to one of the big countries and it's got some notable moments in the history of European conflict.

If you want a capital that doesn't belong to a big country, maybe Luxembourg is best? (or Liechtenstein...)

When the EU gains greater sovreignty, it will need to build its capital alla Brazilia. Given that the EU is an unprecedented international exercise, it would only be confining to have the capital in an extent city.

The thing about Belgium is that it is a historical neutral zone. When it achieved independence from the Netherlands in the 19th Century, it deliberately named itself after an ancient Celtic tribe, Belgae, to avoid conflict.

Because of Balance-of-Power issues, neither France nor Germany nor Britain could grab Belgium for themselves.

And thus, Brussels is a great capital (or so sayeth the person who has never been there).^-^

It seems that most folks here slept well through their geography lessons. The center of europe isn't anyway near Prague.

No, the center is somewere in Denmark, so I go for Vejle.
