Indy over Austin, Columbus, and Phoenix. I don't know about that one.

I would have to say Madison, Wisconsin.

In all seriousness, Boston. This is kind of a Boston vs Atlanta thread.

I'm surprised there aren't any Phoenix advocates. The city is large, but it does come in behind Boston and Atlanta on history and metro area.

If this foreigner was knowledgeable of the USA he would say Sacramento, Austin, & Albany!

The only capital that matters to foreigners is DC.

Right now, Phoenix IS being noticed by our southern neighbors in Mexico. So states can have some influence on the international scene.

I think he's talking about the city themselves...not the state which they represent...otherwise the question would have been "what is the most important state?"
