Who has the best capitol?

[Gypsys Kiss]

Budapest

[greenoaks]

can the wild card be Wisconsin capitol?

That is a pretty sweet building.

it would be better if it spun

[notyou2]

I nominate the capitol building of Timbuktu for wildcard

[thegreekdog]

I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone that I'm frankly disappointed that Greece is not on this list.

If enough people express disappointment it could enter the showdown as a WILD CARD!!! Get a few of your muscular, young, olive-skinned, weightlifting friends together and it could just happen!

I second the motion put forth by my fellow, muscular, young, olive-skinned weightlifting friend.

I think we need one more muscular, young, olive-skinned, weightlifter and we're good to go.

I was about to say... what kind of government convenes inside a hay shack?
And I don't really know about the walking people and cars in Louisiana and Quebec, I was just judging by the picture. In the Louisiana one, there's cars but no people, and completely the opposite in the Quebec pic.

[saxitoxin]

Wisconsin

rejected ... architectural style is too similar to other entrants

Czech Republic

tentatively rejected ... I checked WIKIPEDIA and it said the Senate and Chamber of Deputies meet in different places so I'm not certain it can be said Ceska has a unified capitol?

Russia

as with Ceska

Timbuktu

rejected - no municipal seats, per the evolving rules

Hungary

Accepted for Consideration!

Greece

Accepted for Consideration!

Other buildings under consideration ...

Hawai'i ... only example of Bauhaus architecture being used in a capitol building I could find ... I ruined three pairs of underwear looking at pics of the capitol of Hawai'i (ol' Saxi's two favourite styles of architecture are Bauhaus and Brutalist)


People's Republic of China ... don't got nothing from Asia right now


Romania ... largest building in the world

[Falkomagno]

[targetman377]

Romania ... largest building in the world



Rejected: as the largest building only 3 cars?

and i thought the pentagon was the largest office building?

[saxitoxin]

Venezuela

Accepted for Consideration!

and i thought the pentagon was the largest office building?

Maybe ol' Saxi is wrong ... someone bing-dot-com this, gang.

[targetman377]

i can't find a site that says it wikiapeadea claims the second largest building is CentralWorld but when you click on it. It tells you its the 3rd largest shopping complex? but for largest floor space it says Boeing Everett Factory is number one

Hey! We're in!

and to give you an idea of the size

[natty dread]

Damn, we have an ugly capitol. I'm voting for switzerland.

Well, the question is who has the "best" capitol, not who has the "prettiest." I think Finland's giant slab of granite could withstand a Soviet air raid much better than Switzerland's papier-mâché dollhouse.

Swiss Tony, what do you think?

[Gypsys Kiss]

What about Budapest........I mean ....come on!!!!

[InkL0sed]

Holy shit Finland's capitol is epic.

Finland needs to win everything. Everything ever.

WILD CARD PARTICIPANTS ANNOUNCED!

When the time comes you will be voting between:



and

[thegreekdog]

I vote for Greece! Gyros for all!

Notice the bicameral nature of the building. Note the glazed panes of glass so that the Greek legislature can do important, secretive business. Note the light blue trash receptacle showing the fine Greek colors.

[GreecePwns]

I've been to King Gyros before -_-

It certainly was a nice place. Certainly better than that massive hump of spiked towers. What if one were to fall on those from skydiving?

Oh would you look at that? According to this list, Hungary has the most skydiving drop zones in Europe.

Conclusion: The Hungarian Parliament wants to kill its own people. We just want you to try our delicious gyros.
