The word "capital" is used to mean

- wealth (money or other assets) used in economic production

- an uppercase letter (A, Z)

- a center of political operations for a state, region, or country

Governmental Center

A capital is a city which holds the the seat of government for a nation or state, or sometimes a smaller unit like a region or county. It usually holds buildings and offices for official bureaucratic, legal, and judicial functions, and most official business is undertaken there. It may or may not be a large city or a commercially powerful one, since capitals are usually chosen for historical reasons; the capitals of California and New York, for instance, are the relatively small and unprepossessing cities of Sacramento and Albany.
