A capital is the center of a player's empire. In many of the Civilization games, the capital is home to the Palace, a National Wonder that can be moved under the right circumstances.
The capital often receives benefits that other cities do not. In the first three Civilization games, the capital enjoys zero corruption, and in Civilization IV, the capital does not pay any "distance to palace" maintenance cost.
