I don't know enough about the US to know if this is accurate but "due to historic regional rivalries, build a brand new city to dump all of the federal politicians in" is 100% accurate for Canberra

Dreamtime

Dreamtime (The Dreaming) is the English term used to describe the mythology and spirituality of Indigenous Australians. It is a philosophy, worldview, cosmology, and way of life that explains how the world was created. Although people often associate dreams with Dreamtime, it encompasses much more than that.

The Dreaming is an expansive consciousness that deals with everything from the meaning of life to everything in between. Indigenous Australians differentiate between ordinary dreams and more spiritual ones associated with Dreamtime.

The myths of Dreamtime have been passed down orally for thousands of years and are conveyed through song, storytelling, dance, and art. These myths gave each individual wisdom and purpose. The Dreaming did not take place in the past but is always present in a parallel timeline that continues to nurture the earth. Time and place are infinite in Dreamtime. Indigenous Australians believe that their lives had already been predestined by the spiritual beings of Dreamtime and that it is their duty to live in accordance with those terms.

The Aboriginal Australians & the Land

Aboriginal Australians are made up of various indigenous groups that first arrived in Australia from Asia around 65,000 years ago. They inhabited mainland Australia and its many islands. Each group had its own unique language, traditions, and culture, including different gods and creation stories. Places in modern Australia are tied to specific Indigenous Australian groups; for example, Sydney is the home of the Eora nation, while Melbourne is home to the Wurundjeri people.

Knowledge is not freely available in Indigenous Australian culture and is based on age, gender, and clan membership. Some languages are only spoken by females, and vice versa. There are strict guidelines for everything, including religious ceremonies, land rights, and social relationships.

Indigenous Australians view themselves as custodians of the land rather than its owners. The land is an integral part of Dreamtime, with every aspect of the Australian land carrying signs of the ancestral beings and magic. The grey clouds, the emerald water of the lakes and rivers, and the redness of the dust and rocks all carry elemental qualities. The running waters of the stream remind us of the Rainbow Serpent, who created the streams with her burrowing body. The rock cairns signify the All-Father spirit, Baiame (Biame), who came down from the sky with his sacred law, while the bonfires are reminiscent of the original fire lit by the Sun Mother's hands, and a landslide may tell of a violent battle.

Although the whole land is sacred to Indigenous Australians, some parts are more special or powerful than others. These include Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), and the waters of Kununurra. These are some of the places where the energy of the ancestral spirits is more concentrated due to their association with Dreamtime stories.

The power of the land can be seen in the stories once told about the Nimbin Rocks in New South Wales. Supposedly, a high percentage of women who lived in the vicinity of the Nimbin Rocks suffered miscarriages. They approached an Aboriginal elder, who informed them that Nimbin Rocks was traditionally a male site and women were not supposed to visit. These women moved away from the proximity of the rocks and went on to have successful pregnancies.
