Wrong, They'll land in Brussels near the Atomium and ask to take them to 
Silvio Berlusconi. Can you imagine that? He'll probably insult them by 
saying they'd better play in a movie about an interstellar holocaust :-*

Or they'll land in Beijing, in the capital of the country with the most 
inhabitants?

Or on the Red Square in Moscow, capital of the country with the largest 
surface?

Or in Singapore, most inhabitant per square km? (uhhh... could also be 
Hong Kong or Japan or Holland, but you get the picture. Imagine, 
Balkenende also known as the Dutch Harry Potter representing the world)

Who knows what priorities They'll have!

In one 1980s comic book they landed in Berlin, because their government-
seat-detecto-o-matic had decided it's the only city in the world with two 
government seats, and the only one with a complete functioning city wall. 
Unfortunately, that argument isn't valid any more.
