http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital

In politics a capital (also called capital city or political capital — although the latter phrase has an alternative meaning based on an alternative meaning of "capital") is the principal city or town associated with its government.

The word capital is derived from the Latin caput meaning "head," and the related term "capitol" refers to the building where government-business is chiefly conducted.
