They tried that already, but then they dropped the ball and got beat up by some goth kids.

Rome dominated parts of 3 continents before, so 7 continents shouldn't be too hard.

This would be the best choice. It is about halfway between America and Europe. It's the largest city in the world, bar none (within city limits). It's not the capital of anything else. It's on the edge of China, on the sea, so it could easily be detached from that country to form a Federal District. China has more than a billion people, the detachment of Shanghai would not even put a dent in them. It is a modern and prosperous city, and it already has an international ambience. This would be the best capital for Earth.

16 Moscow, Russia

It was the capital of more than 15 republics, that are now independent and fully functioning countries. So why not the whole world. Also third Rome.

It was the capital of the Roman empire for more than 1000 years. Additionally, for those 1000 years Constantinople was the most developed and the richest city in the world. Russians called it Tsargrad, which means "King of all the cities" or "Tsar of all cities". Nordics called it Miklagrad, which means "the Great city". I mean, every world power back then recognized it's richness and power and beauty. Even if it won't be the capital of the world I think it is the best candidate to be the capital of Eurasia, because half of it is in Europe and the other half is in Asia.
After romans came turks, and city became even more important and rich, being a capital for the most powerful islamic empire in the history and being a sweet dream for the Russian Empire to gain Tsargrad. Even today, it stands as Istanbul, one of the most visited cities in the world, rich in History and pride.

Not only the greatest city in the U. S but the most diverse city in the world. Without LA there wouldn't be Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Studio City and a lot of headquarters of famous businesses. All the celebrities live in the Bel-Air Estates and LA is just a big cultural city that could be the center of the World.

Really? the most phoney city in the world? Who cares about all the celebreties who live there in their extravaganza houses? Are they gonna start to tell the world how to live ( they do it already now but it would be worse ) our lives?
