Inventing a Capital City
The capital of a country is where the government of that country is located. In most countries, the capital is the city with the biggest population. However, in 35 countries out of 195, this is not the case. In some cases, this is because another city is growing faster. But more often, it is because the capital was moved from the largest city to a smaller one due to a political decision.
For example, the largest city in Vietnam is Ho Chi Minh City, with one million more people than Hanoi, the capital. In 1976, Hanoi became the capital of the united North and South Vietnam.
The reason for moving has often been that there are just too many people in the capital. This was why the government of Brazil built a new capital, Brasilia, in the centre of the country, to replace Rio de Janeiro, which is on the coast, in 1960. It was also one of the reasons for moving the capital of Nigeria from Lagos to Abuja in 1991. However, in both cases, there were other reasons. The government of Brazil felt that moving the capital would encourage growth in areas away from the coast. In Nigeria, after a lot of problems between the three main ethnic groups, the government wanted the capital in an area not controlled by any one group
