    Is Washington Dc considered it's own Nation?

    I just heard about this from someone. I want to ask and find out for sure.

    I know that they have no vote in Congress...but i didnt know they were considered their own country. I guess you learn things everyday....that wasnt covered in history class.

      I thought it had its own classification as a District rather than a state - so it isnt really either.

      Is it counted on the Stars and Stripes?

          i also heard London is it's own country?


          so we have the Vatican...Washington DC...and city of London.

          All 3 cities have an obelisk as well.

          Washington=> military arm
          London=> financial arm
          Vatican+> spiritual arm

              London and "The City of London" are separate things.

                  can you expand on it? Is the city of London it's own nation within Britain?


                  Just doing some research and someone told me this..so i want to get more information

                      The "square mile" or "City Of London" has some weird status legally.

                      I live about a mile away from it and I really dont know how it all works. They have their own police force and stuff.

                                              It's not a star on the flag.

                                              It's also not its own country. If it was, it wouldn't be sovereign to the United States.

                                              It's a District, as delegated by the U.S. Constitution. It's not governed by any state law - only federal law. That was deemed necessary by our founding fathers because, primarily, it needed to be exempt from being affected by any state's laws, prejudices, or politics.

                                              To quote part Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution:

                                              "The Congress shall have the power... To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings"
