What makes a capital likelier than another, since the landing point can be anywhere? Shouldn't them be equiprobable against a random point?

Level 74

Capitals that are not close to any other capital have a bigger chance of being closest to you, since they cover a larger part of the globe. Let's say each capital is a circle that all expand at the same time with the circles stopping when they touch each other; the area covered is where you are closest to that capital. The bigger the circle, the higher the likelihood of you landing there.

Hope that makes sense.
