House Capital Systems

[ryoken]

Maybe before sleeper ship was launched, something really bad happened to Washington. Maybe gone, or it was terorist run before they left. So why bring back bad memories in a far away solar system.

Liberty is the house that the DA devs gave the most attention to, given it's integral part in the storyline (as well as time contraints), so it's only natural that it stands out from the others.

As a little test; using only the knowledge you have (no searching), what is the capital of Australia?

Canberra was chosen as capital, since they couldn't chose between the two biggest cities of Australia, Sydney and Melbourne. Canberra is halfway between them. As far as I recall well, this was the reason of chosing the capital. (no searching & not Australian)

Also note, that NY is the only capital system which didn't get another "New" at the beggining of it's name, unlike the other ones (save for IDF, that's not Vanilla). Indeed, New New York would look silly.

Mixed, so fixed. The story is still the same.

Part of the reason may also be that from 1785 to 1790, New York City was the capital of the United States.

Liberty and Nomad Backstory, Very interesting - read it!

Because New York was the first system where any of the sleeper ships had arrived, therefore the naming system wasn't consistent yet.

New london, bretonia - OK
New berlin, rheinland -OK
New tokyo, kusari -OK
NEW YORK-LIBRETY NOT OK.

why its not washington? need explaining.

I doubt that all the sleeper ships had agreed on what to name everything they found beforehand. They had no way of knowing they would even be successful in their Exodus and it took almost a century to contact each other.
The name of the capital systems will likely be from a shared decision between the upper ranks or the whole crew. In Liberty's case, the population may have been more focused on New York.

It's because Manhattan is suppose to be a single massive city across the entire planet. So it's more like Manhattan then Washington.

We need a new Canberra.

I bet Lithuania's capital is way way way out of anyone's knowledge besides LT's neighbours.

Lithuanian Capital is Kaunas. Vilnus is capital of Republic of Central Lithuania under ocupation of Kaunas army.
Nah just kiding but I bet you had this feeling "I gonna kill this man and then Lithuanisse him!"

Part of the reason may also be that from 1785 to 1790, New York City was the capital of the United States.

True, also NY is also where first elected president - George Washington was acknowledged
