London, Texas has been the capital city of the United States of America since January 2025.

Pre-Capital Era

London was a small census-designated place in central Texas established in the late 1800s. In 2020, it had a population of about 180.

Capital of the United States of America

After the Compromise of 2024, Washington, DC became an independent nation. The headquarters of the three branches of government needed a new place to go with less than a month's notice. The County Judge of Kimble County at the time, June Dodd, was a fervent supporter of the We Love America Yay Party and offered her hometown of London as a new capital, "at least for the time being," in her words.

The government was in too much of a rush to try and organize efforts with other, more significant cities, so all three branches accepted. An abandoned building called "London Hall" was offered to be "The New White House," as the building was large and partially white.

Incumbent President Jeffrey Meena, along with Vice President-elect Harlow Tinfoil and his family, moved into the building in January 2025 before the inauguration. The building had no functioning air conditioning, heating, electricity, or running water and was riddled with asbestos and mold. Meena was disappointed in the living space but figured his vast fortunes from his film empire could help renovate it. Little did he know, his wife Maribel Sarkeesian had taken control of his bank accounts and was working on collecting assets for their impending divorce.

He also would end up only living in London Hall for a few weeks before he was removed from office by impeachment. Harlow Tinfoil adjusted to the home quite well. His son, hyperpop musician Tyn PP, had used an outdoor gasoline-powered generator to run his computer so he could produce music, and soon enough, another 20 generators were used to power the whole building.

Using Eminent Domain, the Senate took over the London Grocery & Grill, the House took the Frontier Restaurant, and the Supreme Court took the Post Office. The various government agencies gradually began purchasing other properties in and around London to keep the government functioning. This transitional period away from Washington was utterly chaotic.
