Federal district

A federal district is a type of administrative division that serves as the seat of the national government for a country. Unlike other states or provinces, a federal district is usually not part of any single state or constituent territory but is directly governed by the national government. This ensures political neutrality and impartiality in the administration and governance of the nation's capital. Examples of federal districts include Washington, D.C. in the United States and the Federal District in Brazil. These areas are often home to key government buildings, monuments, and significant cultural landmarks, making them important both politically and historically.
