Seat of Government

/siːt əv ˈɡʌvərnmənt/noun
ELI5 mode

The seat of government is the primary location or city where a nation's or organization's highest administrative and executive functions are based, serving as the hub for decision-making and policy enforcement. This spot often symbolizes authority and stability, though in modern contexts, it can be distinct from cultural or economic centers, as seen in planned capitals like Brasília. It's not just a place but a focal point for governance that can influence national identity and international relations.
