What is Federal district?
{{refimprove|date=December 2018}} The '''federal district''' is the area around the national [[Capital (city)|capital]] in some [[Federation|federal]] countries that are organized as [[capital districts and territories]]. A federal district is made so that no state in the country can claim to be more important than the others because the national capital is inside the state, or to stop one state trying to have control over the national capital. Countries with a federal district include: * {{flag|United States}}, [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] is in the federal district of the [[District of Columbia]] * {{flag|Australia}}, [[Canberra]] is in the [[Australian Capital Territory]] * {{flag|Pakistan}}, [[Islamabad]] [[City]] is in the [[Islamabad Capital Territory]] '''(ICT)''' [[Belgium]] is a federal country, but its capital ([[Brussels]]) is not a federal district, but is its own language region. To show that the [[French language]] and the [[Flemish language]] are equal, Brussels is a special bilingual (two-languages) region. Similarly, [[Vienna]] is the capital of [[Austria]] and is also one of the [[states of Austria]]. {{multistub|geo|politics}} [[Category:Political subdivisions]] [[de:Hauptstadtdistrikt]]
