[eojulvds] cardinal capitals

北京 "north capital" Beijing

東京 "east capital" Tokyo and others

西京 "west capital" https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Western_Capital&oldid=1087947891

南京 "south capital" Nanjing

capitals can end up with uncreative names due to politics.

perhaps the least creative was "Kyoto", meaning "capital".  most creative might be Bangkok.  Washington, District of Columbia is not bad.
