Ejemplo: Es común que la capital sea también el centro en cultural y económico de su jurisdicción o que sea la ciudad más poblada, pero no siempre es así.

Traducción: It is common that the capital also be the cultural and economic center of its jurisdiction, or that it be the most populated city, but it isn't always that way.
