If enough people express disappointment it could enter the showdown as a WILD CARD!!! Get a few of your muscular, young, olive-skinned, weightlifting friends together and it could just happen!
I second the motion put forth by my fellow, muscular, young, olive-skinned weightlifting friend.


I think we need one more muscular, young, olive-skinned, weightlifter and we're good to go.

And I don't really know about the walking people and cars in Louisiana and Quebec, I was just judging by the picture. In the Louisiana one, there's cars but no people, and completely the opposite in the Quebec pic.

Wisconsin


rejected ... architectural style is too similar to other entrants

Czech Republic


tentatively rejected ... I checked WIKIPEDIA and it said the Senate and Chamber of Deputies meet in different places so I'm not certain it can be said Ceska has a unified capitol?

Russia


as with Ceska

Timbuktu


rejected - no municipal seats, per the evolving rules

Hungary


Accepted for Consideration!

Greece


Accepted for Consideration!

Other buildings under consideration ...

Hawai'i ... only example of Bauhaus architecture being used in a capitol building I could find ... I ruined three pairs of underwear looking at pics of the capitol of Hawai'i (ol' Saxi's two favourite styles of architecture are Bauhaus and Brutalist)
Image

People's Republic of China ... don't got nothing from Asia right now
Image

Romania ... largest building in the world

Well, the question is who has the "best" capitol, not who has the "prettiest." I think Finland's giant slab of granite could withstand a Soviet air raid much better than Switzerland's papier-mâché dollhouse.

Swiss Tony, what do you think?

I vote for Greece! Gyros for all!

Notice the bicameral nature of the building. Note the glazed panes of glass so that the Greek legislature can do important, secretive business. Note the light blue trash receptacle showing the fine Greek colors.

I've been to King Gyros before -_-

It certainly was a nice place. Certainly better than that massive hump of spiked towers. What if one were to fall on those from skydiving?

Oh would you look at that? According to this list, Hungary has the most skydiving drop zones in Europe.

Conclusion: The Hungarian Parliament wants to kill its own people. We just want you to try our delicious gyros.
