    It should be Chicago.
    After all, Chicago is already filled with crooks.

          New York most likely.

          We already have a bullseye painted on us, no reason not to add more.

              I like the idea of the US capital in Las Vegas....the Capitol would be in the MGM Grand pyramid, the WH in the Sands, Lincoln momument next to the giant cowboy....Would sure make visiting more interesting, + congressional whoring would be legal!

                I'd say Chicago, but realistically Denver has the most federal buildings besides Washington, so it would probably move there.

                If you're living in the US, check out this list to see if your state has a chance of scraping by.

                Nuclear Blast Mapper is a cool little page where you can see what your chances are like if a bomb was to drop a few suburbs away from you. Fun for the whole family!

                        I would vote for Philly for the historical reasons, or maybe Boston or Annapolis.

                        The problem with this hypothetical is that all of these cities would have been bombed anyway. My guess is that it would end up being something like Fairbanks, Alaska, Des Moines, or something with little strategic importance that nobody would need to bomb anyway. It also neglects the fact that it would be a long time before having a true capital would be possible. Our shadow government is almost definitely located somewhere in the Appalachians outside of Washington, and they'd stay there if needed.

                          How could you forget philly?

                          though the fallout of an hydrogen bomb would def have gone far enough to make philly uninhabitable...

                            Tampere.
                            You might be interested to learn that the future US capital even gets coverage in one of those crazy outlandish German-speaking media, such as the newspaper from Cologne.

                            Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?

                                That's nice - though the Internet-Sauna fad was quickly renounced here, as it was against good old Sauna tradition, and moreover, it wouldn't be too good PR to negotiate naked with someone who is not in a Sauna.
