Are you happy with the location of the capital of your state, province or nation?

Now of course nobody is going to take the capital out of Washington and plant it in SL or Denver. It would be extremely costly and Washington has history. But in a new area of settlement, the capital should be placed in or near the geographic center, and what is close to what is expected to be the future population center. Juneau is absurd as the Alaskan capital, and was even when it was selected. It should be Anchorage or perhaps Willow. Even Fairbanks would be better than Juneau. Sacramento, when chosen, wasn't bad for California when it was selected, but now is way too distant from the more populous south. Maybe Winnipeg would be a more central Canadian capital, although Quebec would probably resist the westward move. Perhaps a midlands location would be better for Britain than London, but London has the history and infrastructure. Paris will always be the capital of France I suppose.

Perhaps, over time, the bureaucracy could be spread around. Denver would make an ideal location for the Interior Dept. for example. NYC is the natural choice for the Treasury Dept., Federal Reserve and SEC. Omaha or Des Moines could get Agriculture etc., Chicago could get Commerce, Detroit or Pittsburgh Labor, Houston Energy. The President and Executive branch, Congress and Supreme Court, and probably Justice and Defense would remain in DC. But most of the bureaucracy could be spread around the country. The ease of internet communication makes this decentralization feasible.
