the us is unique because economic hubs typically are not the capitals. in some cases this is intentional to separate politics from business interests. in others it's just historic changes as time passes and people move. the capital of nevada is carson city. not reno. not las vegas. the capital of california is sacramento, not los angeles. new york is not new york city, it's albany. florida is not miami it's tallahassee. louisiana is not new orleans it's baton rouge. texas is not houston it's austin. washington is not seattle it's olympia. capital of kansas is not kansas city it's topeka.
