The Capital

"The Capital" typically refers to a city where a country's government is located. It serves as the political center, housing important government buildings like the legislature, the president's office, and various ministries. Capitals often play a key role in culture and economics, reflecting national identity. While many capitals are also the largest cities, this is not always the case. For example, Washington, D.C. in the United States is not the largest city. Capitals can be significant historical sites and serve as hubs for diplomatic activities and international relations.
