I'm actually pretty glad that it wasn't Canberra or Brasilia, because otherwise, I wouldn't have gone searching at Wikipedia for answers. I really enjoyed reading about other planned cities. I never knew that the satellite image city was a planned city before (though, given the name, it now seems rather obvious). The skyline is going to be tricky, yeah. I have a hunch that it's in Asia, but I'm not entirely sure about that. I’m curious… how did you go about searching for it?

The skyline will be harder…

From the look of it, I could definitely tell this was a planned city and also likely a capital, such as Washington, DC (capital of the 4th largest country in the world). My initial guesses were Brasilia (capital of the 5th largest country) and Canberra (capital of the 6th largest country), but both of those didn't work. But if you extend that pattern to just one more country's capital, then you have a winner. Thanks go to Wikipedia, which, I swear, has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_purpose-built_capital_cities" rel="nofollow">an article</a> for <i>everything</i>. Ok, I got this one.

I haven't figured it out yet, but take a look at the satellite images of DC to see a creepy parallel. I first saw it and I thought, “Whoa, it’s Washington, DC, but it’s not Washington, DC.”
