"New Archades is rather nice, but some of the areas are essentially blocked off from visitors due to the need for a pass of some description," he said, thinking back to the one occasion he and Marluxia had decided to visit. "Bhujerba is on Dorstonis, so it's not the Lowerworld. On the plus side, it would be easy for you to visit on your return to Lucis. The house Marluxia and I bought is on the outskirts of Alexandria and as far as capitals go, the separation of districts by their use makes it easy enough to navigate. Midgar... was rather famous for being revolting before the Fall, so I doubt you're missing much. It was known for the Plate, but there were slums below with measures to stop those from there getting above their station. I hear people lived and died without ever seeing the sun."
It sounded dismal to him when he had read the newspaper reports about it. The Plate had collapsed, crushing those beneath it in the slums. There had been no survivors, no chance of escape, according to the report. Even in the wake of the disaster, Midgar's government had come under fire for their treatment of the city's disadvantaged.
"These days much of Bancour's capital culture survives in Palumpolum, which is supposed to be rather less unpleasant than Midgar itself," he told him. "Though Ingram is said to represent the core of the country more accurately."
He remembered the minor outcry that Ingram wouldn't be made the country's capital in lieu of Midgar, too.
