NO it is called The Federal District of Columbia, it has electoral representation, but not elected congressionally represented. It is the only District in USA asa classified like that. American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands[though not by now :)- ], Vanuatu, Wake Islands, Midway, Johnston ISlands and the Baker/Howell Islands are all other non-states in the Union, Palau and Micronesia are associatead Republllics by a Compact of Free Association. SO, DC isnt state nor territroy nor anything, it is its own enttity.

well the state is build on the constitution and has so by violated the very democratic thing that once brought forth the liberty of freedom by which we all have come from. and further more we must continue to fight for the freedom to constitutionaly solve the issues of statehood and democracy.  there that makes about as much since as the question.  Thanks for asking it was fun.

It is useally seen as a city state.  So it is essentially its own nation.

Puerto Rico is in fact a US Colony.  The term Commonwealth is not mutually exclusive from the term Colony.  The statehood and pro-commonwealth movements account for around 95% of the population (1 to 1 ratio) and the independence movement is around 5%.  Puerto Ricans do not have the power to obtain either independence or statehood.  Any final decision will be in the hands of the US Congress.  I hope Puerto Rico becomes a state at one point in the future.  Although Puerto Ricans have the right to become independent, most of them do not want it.  In that respect, and if democracy prevails, Puerto Rico will not be independent.  Until we decide to change our status quo, the US legislators will go to the island to campaign and seem interested in our situation, and nothing important will happen.

I'm a citizen of the US.  When I go overseas (mainly to Europe), I always say I am from the "States."  However, Europeans overwhelmingly refer to US citizens as "Americans" or the country of the US as "America."\n\nIt's isn't US citizens calling their country "America."  It's Europeans, from what I've seen!

Hmmmm, you used the word ALL. Do you know every Democrat in the United States? Some of us have very strong opinions, and have not waivered. Why haven't you heard about us?  Because we have been systematically beaten over the head with American Flag, until we are now in a silent stupor.  Any opinion that does not coincide with this Administration's KILL EM ALL, AND LET GOD SORT EM OUT ATTITUDE, is viewed as being unpatriotic. Or hadn't you noticed?

Phrase your posting in the form of a question, as in:  "What do you think of the shootings on Capital Hill this morning?" rather than just posting that it happened. Then you aren't abusing the site and you are still informing us of what is going on. I discovered the shooting incident due to your earlier question, so I appreciate it!

Like the Congress of the United States, every state has its own legislature. Every state except Nebraska has two houses in its legislature. \n\nEvery state has two senators that it sends to Washington; but every state decides for itself how many members there will be in the state legislatures.\n\nUS Senators deal with national issues. State Senators work in the individual state legislatures that meet in each state's capital, and only work on state issues. Your state legislature meets in Harrisburg, and every district in the state has its own representatives and senators.\n\nHope this answer helps. Cheers, mate.

I think it's part of N. America, but it belongs to Denmark politically.  I think it's about the size of Mexico.

It's a states rights issue.  It doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government

Back int he day.. the state used to be divided into two sections;  Rhode Island which is now Aquidneck Island and Providence plantations.. which is the rest of the territory of the state.    I didn't know if you knew that Massachusetts and Maine used to be the same state..

Bruce,\nThe capital of The United States (not America, as you called it) is Washington D.C. \nThe capital of Australia is also Washington D.C.\nThat was a tricky question, though. I bet you'd thought I'd say Sydney.

I have no idea what you mean. There are 400+ members of the House of Representatives and 100+ Senators. Each is from a specific district or area in one of the States. What are you referring to?
