A capital city (or simply capital) is the municipality enjoying primary status in a country, state, province, or other region, usually as its seat of government. A capital is typically a city that physically encompasses the offices and meeting places of its respective government; the status as capital is often designated by its law or constitution. In some jurisdictions, including several countries, the different branches of government are located in different settlements. In some cases, a distinction is made between the official (constitutional) capital and the seat of government, which is in another place.
The word capital derives from the Latin caput, meaning "head".
In several English-speaking states, the terms county town, county seat, and borough seat are also used in lower subdivisions. In unitary states, subnational capitals are commonly known as "administrative centres".
An alternative term is headtown. The capital is often, but not necessarily, the largest city of its constituent.
Capital City or Capitol City or variants, may refer to :
Capital may refer to:
A city is a large and permanent human settlement. Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town in general English language meanings, many cities have a particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law.
Cities generally have complex systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the process, but it also presents challenges to managing urban growth.
A big city or metropolis usually has associated suburbs and exurbs. Such cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban areas, creating numerous business commuters traveling to urban centers for employment. Once a city expands far enough to reach another city, this region can be deemed a conurbation or megalopolis. In terms of population, the largest city proper is Shanghai, while the fastest-growing is Dubai.
There is not enough evidence to assert what conditions gave rise to the first cities. Some theorists have speculated on what they consider suitable pre-conditions and basic mechanisms that might have been important driving forces.
"One Minute More" is a song by American indie pop duo Capital Cities, written and produced by band members Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian. It was first released as a stand-alone digital single on April 14, 2011, and was later included on the deluxe edition of their debut studio album In a Tidal Wave of Mystery (2013). The song impacted modern rock radio in the United States on March 25, 2014, serving as the fourth single from the album. The song was also appeared in 2013 film Iron Man 3 and the 2015 live stage tour Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Musical as performed by Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Chipettes.
The official music video for "One Minute More" was directed by Brewer and released on June 19, 2014. The video's primary theme is "the idea of balancing joy and sorrow", and depicts the band performing the song amongst a party of jet skiers, intertwined with scenes of a woman tearfully dealing with a divorce.

Although the capital city of Luxembourg is not particularly large, its layout is complex, as the city is set on several levels, straddling hills and dropping into the two gorges. The 70 m (230 ft) deep gorges are spanned by many bridges and viaducts. The city, because of its location and natural geography, has through history been a place of strategic military significance. The first fortifications were built as early as the 10th century. The Casemates Bock is a network of underground fortifications, built in the 18th century, that tunnel under the city. The fortifications and environs are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Luxembourg City is a seat of several institutions of the European Union, including the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, ...
