  1. It is not part of any state and is not partitioned into counties. Washington D.C. stands alone as a political unit. It is, therefore, not in any county.


  2. USA. (United States of America)

    Hoped that helped!

  3. north korea, duh.

  4. Washington D.C. is the capital city of United States of America.

  5. The good ole' USA.

    Edit: Oh. Oops. Sorry. My bad.

    District of Columbia.

  6. Washingto D.C has does not reside in any county.. instead it is know as the District of Colombia..The City of Washington used to be a separate municipality within the District of Columbia. An Act of Congress in 1871 created a single government for the entire federal territory, effectively merging the City and the District into a single entity.

  7. hahahahaha! idiota americanos! lol!

    District of Columbia, between Maryland and Virginia.

    hense the D.C. bit...

  8. It is not in a county of a state. It is its own district.  

  9. USA

  10. Reason for Washington DC

    Congress passed a law that gave George Washington the right to pick a spot for the nations capitol. Philadelphia and New York both have had the luxury of being our capitol up to this point. Washington's home, Mount Vernon was located on the Potomac and there was a confluence of the Potomac and another river 10 or 15 miles upstream. This is the site Washington picked for the "federal district" as it was referred to. As a representative of our new country there was a figure of what appeared to be an Indian Princess, which over the years cloned into "Lady Liberty". (not the statue). This lady liberty cloned or morphed into Columbia. Female representation of the USA. So.......federal district of the US as represented by Lady Columbia (Liberty) Washington (his city) (federal) District of Columbia (the USA), Washington District of Columbia or Washington DC.
