Washington D.C. is bounded by Virginia, Maryland and the Potomac River.  It is the seat of government with all 3 branches located here.  D.C. serves as the country's museum and at the same time the metropolitan area is home to the bulk of federal workers.  While tourism is a big component of the economy, along with Civil Service, the service sector and R&D also play major roles. Banking in particular, with proximity to FDIC and the IMF is also a big player.
