NEW YORK CITY IS THE CAPITAL OF EARTH. It is the most important city in the world, BY FAR, and if the country it is in goes into a backwards spiral... Look at Ancient Rome! The Dark Ages for a huge amount of industries! And not to mention the Massive cultural value of Present Day NYC. It's like the Fourth Rome, and it is home to so many things of wealth and value. Do you realize how long of times it took to make another Rome? When the Roman Empire split, it took 200 years to even get close to restoring it. And the restoration didn't even last to the end of the Byzantine Empire. The supposed Third Rome took 400 years to even select and by then, the people of Moscow had overthrown their government! New York City isn't even the Fourth Rome yet, and killing it now will mark out so much from Western Civilization.
