There would be some population growth with moving a capital, but not a whole lot. It would basically be the same as moving a large business to the city, along with most of the employees. Since population growth is best measured as a percentile, a large enough influx of government and staff would add to organic growth over time. That time would be measured in generations, however. That said, given the length of time that high barons rule, there would be a notable population shift over the course of a dynasty.

I don't think that this democracy thing will ever really catch on. Just look at what happened to the Orcks. Meh, democracy, meh. (semicolon close-parenthesis)
