Cusco, the Incan capital, is benefiting from a large 
Population and the nearby tile improvements, including Mines and Terrace Farms.
Your 
Capital is the city that contains your Palace, the center of your empire and your power as ruler. As the capital is your civilization's first and greatest city, it is also the most glorious and productive city in your empire. The first city you settle will automatically become your capital in the beginning of the game, and is also considered your "Original Capital" for the purposes of a domination victory.
If your capital is captured, the Palace (as well as the Capital status) will move to your next largest city.
You can connect other cities to your capital to form the internal trade network of your empire, using the appropriate infrastructural connections. These links are called 
Trade Routes (or City Connections in Brave New World). Each connected city will then generate 
Gold each turn thanks to trade, which will be applied straight to your treasury for purposes of local Gold-boosting buildings.
Many bonuses from social policies apply only to your capital, as does the "Friend" level bonus of a Maritime 
City-State (whereas the "Ally" level bonus applies to all cities).
Only players in control of their original capitals are eligible for a domination victory.
