The location of a country's capital city is one of the most important choices for any nation's leaders to make.
They contain important government facilities, offices and headquarters and usually contain the primary residence of the nation's leadership.
The capital city is basically the brain of a country and choosing the location of where you want to place your brain is of course a highly strategic choice.
Most often the best location for a capital city is somewhere that can be easily defended, and from where you can exert control and project unity over the rest of the country.
Capitals need to be seen as representative of the entire nation and be easily accessible to the largest number of people possible.
And for all those reasons, capitals are most often built within the center of a country.
But sometimes, the choice of an old location ends up eventually just not working out.
For example, in 2005 Myanmar moved their capital city away from old Yangon — the largest city in the country and towards Naypyidaw, more than 300 kilometers to the north.
