So lots of cities were in the news because of the weather. Some people are making the point that other places were affected and yet New York gets all the attention.

So, which is the least important city on the planet? Which city would most likely be mocked the hardest by those residing in the capital city of a united Earth? Where would be the least appropriate place for a visiting alien to deploy their devious landmark destroying death ray?

I'm inclined to say New York would be out of the running, and Shanghai too. Tokyo seems to have lost its importance since their economic crash, but not so much that it's the least important city.

Where would you pick? There's no defining metric to choose by. No idea what cities to include if this were a poll.

Epiphany, South Dakota.

Pretty much actual photo:

But in South Dakota, that counts as a city.

Worcester, MA.

If they leveled it there would be more parking for Boston.

The least important city on Earth is probably not in the US.

Of all the places I have been, Canberra, Australia was probably the most forgettable of cities that have some kind of relevance to the world.

Having also been to Canberra, I think I agree with that.
