>Why isn't Rio the capital of Brazil?
Because they made so their capital is slightly more to the center of the country so everything is less centralized in that east part of the country that already has tons of money. Also creating a city from scratch makes for a lot of jobs.

Rio used to be the capital but some retarded president changed it to move the political center away from the populace.

it is though
one of them

America is a union of states, I'm guessing they wanted things to remain neutral so they made the district of columbia.

This is like asking why isn't Manchester the capital of the uk

Amsterdam is our capital.

The King, parliament, senate, supreme court, government, ministries, embassies and international courts and international organisations are all in The Hague. In fact, not a single important government building is in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam lies in the province North Holland.
The capital of North Holland is... Haarlem.

But non are

Too lazy to check the other cities
But New York, Toronto and Rio are all coastal cities prone to be invaded

Montreal was Canada's main city up until the 70's/80's, but there's no way we were putting our capital in Quebec. Likewise the French would have been butthurt if it were in Toronto. Ottawa is literally a middle-ground as it is on the Quebec/Ontario border.

Canberra was purpose built as the capital to stop Sydney and Melbourne arguing.

this
They build it right between Unionist and Confederate states.
