That's definitely what happens in both CivI and CivII. In CivII if you
have enough money (and maybe the right government type?) the owner of
the defeated capital gets the option to shift the government to another
city (of size > 10 or 12, I think). I believe it costs 1000. I'm not
100% sure about the details because I don't have my manual handy.
