The federal district is the area around the national capital in some 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:
United States, Washington is in the federal district of the District of Columbia
Australia, Canberra is in the Australian Capital Territory
Pakistan, Islamabad City is in the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT)
