A capital or capital city is the municipality exercising primary status in a country, state, province, or another administrative region, usually as its seat of government.
A capital is typically a city that physically encompasses the government’s offices and meeting places; its law or constitution often designates the status as the capital. In some jurisdictions, including several countries, the different branches of government are located in other settlements. In some cases, a distinction is made between the official (constitutional) capital and the seat of government, which is in another place.
Capital cities that also serve as the prime economic, population, cultural, or intellectual centers of a nation or an empire are sometimes referred to as primate cities. Examples are Athens, Bangkok, Brussels, Copenhagen, Cairo, London, Mexico City, Paris, Lima, Seoul, and Tokyo.
