You may know that we have 50 states in the U.S.  Washington, D.C., is of course our capital city.  You are right that the "D.C." stands for District of Columbia.  However, the two - "Washington" and "District of Columbia" - are the same thing, geographically.\n\nThere are no other "districts" - everyplace else is a state.\n\nNot a great answer, I know, but something Americans (I hope) understand.  Hard to explain to a non-American.\n\nTry a couple of websites:\nwww.washington.org (tourism website)\nwww.dc.gov (local city government website)

DC has Georgetown University, George Washington, American University, Catholic University and George Mason is nearby. I'm sure most if not all of them offer political science as a major.

The capitol was originally Philadelphia, which at the time was the largest city of the United States.  Congress wanted a place where a capitol could be built and designed from scratch and they chose the area we know as D.C.  It was named Washington in honor of the father of our country, hence the history of Washington D.C. and our nation's capitol.

INS no longer exists. It is called USCIS. The DC District Office is at 2675 Prosperity Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22031. The DC service center (where you mail applications, etc.) is at 75 Lower Welden St., Saint Albans, Vermont 05479.

It is one of the 12 federal appeals courts from federal district court in the circuit. Each is equal. Many Supreme Court cases are taken to resolve contrary Circuit Court opinions.\nBut the D.C. is really the most important because all federal administrative agencies are sued or sue in Washington.\nIt is a likely spot for appointment to the Supreme Court

New Jersey is the mildew state. Washington State is the apple state while Washington, DC is not a state. The "DC" stands for District of Columbia.

DC is not a state, it is a separate entity. This was done so the federal government would not be held hostage by any single state. The land was donated both by Maryland and Virginia.\n\nDC does have electoral votes for President, and it does have observers to both the House and the Senate, so it can debate and introduce motions, but cannot vote on them.

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.
