To reply to Dr Legendary: In the world of the 100, the US no longer exists as a nation. It is like the Roman Empire, a thing that existed "back then". Once a nation ceases to exist, there is no capitol. However, it's likely the people running the City of Light may have thoughts of building a nation, with the City, of course, as the capitol of any new nation that might be formed.

Now, to reply to 213.177.243.217 : Yeah, Vegas almost sounds like a natural to be the City of Light, with all the garish neon that place is noted for. However, since the setting of the show is in the Washington DC area, I would imagine it is somewhere in the eastern part of the (former, for the show) United States.

Personally, I think it would be fun if they made it a place that we wouldn't think of, a place most of us don't really know about, like some small town that barely gets a dot on a road map. That would make sense if you think about it. Any major city would have been heavily hit in that big war that's supposed to have happened 97 years before the beginning of the show. It's possible some small town got missed and escaped mostly unharmed.
