Oh there was political fuckery before our masonic forefathers laid the cornerstones. The reason it’s on the border of Maryland and Virginia was to placate the southern states, otherwise the capitol would have stayed in New York.
It’s something like, more people live in Washington, D.C. than in Wyoming.
Does DC want to be or even have a reason to be its own state? I thought it specifically wasn’t a state to be “fair” somehow.
Peurto Rico, OTOH, certainly wants to (or wanted to previously; IDK how they feel currently). Also Guam and the US Virgin Islands.

I mean I imagine all the people living there would like a say in federal politics.
