I have to disagree about the capital being in the centre of the country. A good example is New Delhi. New Delhi was known in ancient times as Indraprastha, and this city was located east of the Sutlej and Ghaggar rivers and west of the Yamuna river. The rivers to the west of Delhi (Indus river system) flow westward into the Arabian sea, while those in the east flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal. Due to this, the city of Indraprastha connects the Indus and Ganges river systems. To add to that, it is strategically located close to the Thar Desert, Chambal River (eastern Rajasthan and Western Madhya Pradesh) and Narmada River basin (Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh) in the centre of India. This even connects to the coasts of South India, since the rivers of both Indus and Ganges systems can connect to the open seas. So eventhough Delhi is not in the centre of the country, it is the passageway between the 2 river systems. Due to this it is arguably the best place to have a capital.
@@hpgamesr3777 You're right, Delhi is the ideal historical capital of India due to the connection between the two river systems. That being said, the Ravi, Beas, Sutlej and Ghaggar have lowland river streams that are well within India and the Sutlej-Yamuna canal works to connect Indian Punjab to Delhi.
Population center doesn't automatically mean it's the ideal position for a capital. There are many more factors that need to be considered, like infrastructure, access to the sea/major rivers, proximity to other countries (e.g. Dublin facing the UK)/major cities (e.g. Helsinki and Tallinn), cultural and historical significance (e.g. Berlin, Warsaw) or just being the biggest city of a country (most of them). This is an interesting vosualization, but I think it would be more honest if it was just presented as "these are the population centers of different countries", instead of trying to determine entire capitals based on a single metric.
Thank you for the extensive feedback. I agree with the title of the video. But if its title was just "these are the population centers of different countries", no one would watch it. Unfortunately, this is how it works. As for the theses about capitals. There are many cases when the capital of a country was moved from the largest city to a smaller one, but inland (Pakistan, Turkey, Brazil, Kazakhstan, etc. I have another video about this). And after the relocation, the new capitals began to grow rapidly, and perhaps in 50-100 years they will become the largest in their countries. By this I mean that the current capitals are the largest cities precisely because of the capital factor.
China has 3 perfect candidates. Xi’An, Chongqing and Chengdu. For Russia there 2 possibilities(3if we exclude Siberia). Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk [and Yekaterinburg]. St. Louis or Denver for US.
You were close about the US. Probably the centre of the population will be closer to Oklahoma, because the southern states like California, Texas, Florida have a super heavy impact
@@albertromansky9501 China's current population centroid is in Henan province, and the biggest city in this province is Zhengzhou. Would this be a good capital for the country?
Living in Germany for a few months I feel that the ideal capital location-wise would be Frankfurt. It’s about equally away from the huge conglomerate of the Ruhrgebiet, the populated Berlin, the big cities of the North as well as close to Bayern and Munich. Hannover would also be a very good option considering it’s equally distant from Berlin, Hamburg and Nordrhein-Westfalen, but the existence of the airport in Frankfurt makes it more of a hub in my eyes.
Łódź actually was supposed to be the capital of Poland shortly after World War II due to Warsaw being completely destroyed, but this idea has been abandoned
The capital city is mostly decided because of historical reasons. Being central is good but it's not crucial. Also it doesn't need to be the largest city.
Only after this comment I have realised that it's really common case. Latvia, Belarus were mentioned in video. Additionally, Hungary, Portugal, Greece, Sweden, Norway, Croatia would be higher in ranking without their second largest cities. It's sound like great idea for new video 🙂
I was thinking the same thing, but after looking at it, this feels like an interwar map, shortly after the Treaty of Versailles, but before the Memelland was taken from Germany and given to Lithuania, Posen and West Prussia were given to Poland, and the Silesian "Uprisings". Not to mention before Austria-Hungary was officially dissolved
@zero_balfour That's true, after looking at it again, and the Baltic countries non-existence tells me that this map doesn't line up time wise, so "wtf is this map" actually works here
Please do it for countries that have relocated their capitals (or plan to), to see if it was reasonable. For example Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Egypt, South Korea etc.
Thank you for your comment. I didn't know that South Korea was planning to change its capital. I'll tell you briefly about other countries, more details will be in the video. Kazakhstan. The new capital is closer to the center of the population. But Astana is not the best option. Indonesia. Jakarta is planned to be relieved of traffic and population. The new capital should be on the island of Borneo, which is as far from the population center as the island of Java. Egypt. Cairo now has one of the most optimal locations in terms of population center among all countries in the world. Therefore, the transfer of the capital is due to the same reasons as for Jakarta
Sorry Germans. But if i have to choose a new capital for Germany. I would actually say Frankfurt. I know most Germans dislike Frankfurt. But its actually the best option. - Its perfectly settled in the center of the most populated part of Germany. Rhine-Ruhr area, the frankfurt Mannheim Stuttgart area and the München Area. - Frankfurt is allready a transport hub because it is home to Germany’s biggest Airport and home of Lufthansa. Besides its also a big commercial and banking hub being the only city in Germany with Skyscrapers and important banks. - It lies on the Rhine which is allready good for transporting to Bonn, Köln and Dusseldorf. But the thing is. I dont like modern cities especially Frankfurt. So if i have to choose another capital which is more historic and big in the area. I would choose Darmstadt, Mainz or Mannheim. Maybe i even consider Stuttgart. We also have Bonn ofcourse but the city doesn’t really feel like a capital. Those are my options. Do what you want with it.
This is a great idea! I would love to see other like-minded videos (not necessarily the exact same idea for other places, except maybe north america, but rather things in the like of "How many key advantages (deep sea port, river crossing etc...) does this capital/city have compared to others? or: Are there other places in the country that would have these features? Or even simulate what it coule have looked like if a capital was historically somewhere else! Like, "If Turku remained the capital of Finland, here's where to it could have extended + I don't know, a hypothetical subway or tram map or something 😂) basically I think there are a lot of cool ideas to explore around this theme if it's creative and isn't the exact same idea applied to other places over and over 🎉
I don’t see why the criteria for a good capital is limited to the center of population. Cities like Vienna and Paris have much more historical precedent for capital and are the historic and current economic and cultural hub for the entire nation. I suppose it wouldn’t be a completely wild idea for Berlin ever since they destroyed Prussia, but Hannover has next to no claim at all to hold such an honor, I’d say Nürnberg or Mainz before them. Overall, I don’t like the idea of changing a capital for this reason.
This video is for informative purposes only. Paris and Vienna are undoubtedly the best options for their respective countries. Because there are no other choices. But still, the location in relation to the centre of the population makes sense. It may not be the most important aspect. But I believe that the journey to the capital should be the shortest and most convenient for the maximum number of residents of this country

You absolutely ignore geography....... 80% of Slovakia are mountains and the biggest mountain ranges are in Central Slovakia. So it is impossible to have the capital in Banská Bystrica in the center of mountains. The highest population density is in the southwest of the country and there is also the Danube river, which is historically the biggest traffic artery. Bratislava (or Pressburg, or Poszony) was historically the biggest city in Slovakia and also the biggest economic heart. Banská Bystrica is located in the center of the country, but it is only local townlet with population less than 80k. Tourists use the city like the center for hiking or skiing, but not as the center of the country. Also the second biggest city Košice is not in the center of the country. It is on the east, because there is the second highest population density.
Very nice video, but you should find an AI with better pronunciation of city names. Also, it would be cool if you included all the countries of Europe. Even if they are small, the size shouldn't have a significant impact on the percentage value.
We've already tried this idea of putting capitals in geographic centers. The vast majority of US state capitals were designed this way. The result? Most are incredibly boring, undynamic cities with low economic activity that are regarded as bad or uninteresting places to live.
@@albertromansky9501 I previously commented a source for Austria-Hungary's census data, but it seems it got filtered out. Is there a way I could send it to you?
This is a paradox. Because a significant number of people would move to the country's capital for opportunities and other things, shifting the population center drastically. But if thr original city was not the capital, the population center would not be there
Cottbus population - 93,926 while #100 german city 103,000 However, this does not have a significant impact on the calculation of the population center. Even for the top 300 cities, the result will be approximately the same

If St Peter's Basilica is considered the capital of the Vatican, then perhaps the Vatican would be next to Belgium in this video. But first of all, you need to figure out where exactly the resident population of the Vatican lives
