So a while ago I watched [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9kpeHgscU4) video from a geographer about why they believe the Capitol is in Utah, and based on modern day Salt Lake City. If you aren't aware, Salt Lake City is pretty much the centre of the Mormon (Latter Day Saints) religion. The video explores some of the Mormon parallels that run through the series, and presents some fairly solid evidence for the Capitol's location. I'd recommend watching it, it explains it far better than I can! It's also very detailed (1h20!) The comments section has some interesting parallels as well.

I'm more focused however on the visuals of Salt Lake City and the Capitol, and by extension, I believe that Coriolanus was (intentionally or subconsciously) styled after Lucky Blue Smith, a famous model with connections to the LDS church. You can see in the image some comparisons I have made in terms of clothes, hair, and general appearance. I've also done the same for Salt Lake City and the Capitol, in case you don't want to watch the video!

Lucky is a model that was raised in a Mormon family in Utah - if you haven't heard of him (I hadn't until recently), you may know him through his wife, the food content creator Nara Smith!

What do you guys think about this Mormon connection? And are there any other connections you can notice?
