The New Capital is the capital city of the Earth Federation, located on planet Earth in the Japan District of the Far-East District. It was constructed following the Garmillas War, near the site of the abandoned underground city known as Greater Tokyo City, which was the former capital of the Far-East District.
The city was bombed at the beginning of the Final Battle Over Earth in June 2203 but was rebuilt by the end of that same year. Once again, the New Capital became a battlefield during the Invasion of the Ground Reverse in October 2207.

The New Capital in 2205
Following the end of the Gatlantis Campaign, the New Capital was rebuilt thanks to the time fault factory. On December 30,[6] General Kotetsu Serizawa used the example of the rebuilt capital as proof of the Earth needing the time fault for its post-war reconstruction effort during his speech prior to the Referendum on Kodai and Yuki Mori's repatriation.[7]
On October 2, 2205,[8] various screens on the side of buildings in the capital streamed the live departure of the 65th Escort Corps on a peace mission to the Salezar system.[9]
