A capital city (or just, capital) is the area of a country, province, region, or state considered to enjoy primary status; although there are exceptions, a capital is typically a city that physically encompasses the offices and meeting places of the seat of government and is usually fixed by law or by the constitution. An alternative term is political capital, but this phrase has a second meaning based on an alternate sense of the word capital. The capital is often, but not necessarily, the largest city of its constituent area. The seats of government in major sub-state jurisdictions are often called capitals, but this is typically only the case in countries with some degree of federalism, where major sub-state legal jurisdictions have elements of sovereignty. In unitary states, an administrative centre or other similar term is typically used for such locations besides the national capital city. For example, the seat of government in a state of the United States is usually called its capital, but the main city in a region of the United Kingdom is usually not called such, even though in Ireland, a county's main town is usually called its capital. On the other hand, the four countries of the United Kingdom do have capital cities: Scotland Edinburgh, Wales Cardiff, Northern Ireland Belfast, and England London. Counties in England, Wales and Scotland have historic county towns, which are often not the largest settlement within the county and often are no longer administrative centers, as many historical counties are now only ceremonial, and administrative boundaries are different. In Canada, there is a federal capital, and the ten provinces and three territories all have capital cities. The states of such countries as Mexico, Brazil (including the famous cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, capitals of their respective states), and Australia all have capital cities. For example, the six state capitals of Australia are Adelaide, South Australia; Brisbane, Queensland; Hobart, Tasmania; Melbourne, Victoria; Perth, Western Australia; and Sydney, New South Wales. In Australia, the term capital cities is regularly used, to refer to the aforementioned state capitals plus the federal capital Canberra and Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory. In the Federal Republic of Germany, each of its constituent states has its own capital city, such as Wiesbaden, Mainz, Dsseldorf, Stuttgart, and Munich. Likewise, each of the republics of the Russian Federation has its own capital city. In the lower administrative subdivisions in various English-speaking countries, terms such as county town, county seat, and borough seat are usually used. Historically, the major economic center of a state or region often becomes the focal point of political power, and becomes a capital through conquest or federation. Examples are Ancient Baghdad, Berlin, Constantinople, London, Athens, Madrid, Moscow, Ancient Rome, Beijing, Stockholm, Tokyo, and Vienna
