The Confederation of Dixie’s choice of Governor Freemon to act as President started a tradition that became stronger than mere law. He chose his hometown of Lexington to act as his capital, and the next President moved the capital to his hometown. Every President since has picked a new capital, and it has almost always their own hometown. The two rules are that it cannot be a State capital, and it cannot have been a Confederation capital in the past. The Confederation has no intention of allowing a massive bureaucratic state to grow up around a permanent capital and poison it to all rationality and reason as happened to Washington D.C. in the past. There are obvious drawbacks to the practice, but the Confederation of Dixie has managed to prosper and grow despite them. And it has kept the small government it wants.
