Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia, also known as Washington or D.C. or locally simply as the District, is the capital city and federal district of the United States. It is located on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southwestern and southern border with the U.S. state of Virginia, and it shares a land border with the U.S. state of Maryland on its other sides. The city was named for George Washington, a Founding Father and the first president of the United States, and the federal district is named after Columbia, the female personification of the nation. As the seat of the U.S. federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. It is one of the most visited cities in the U.S., with over 20 million annual visitors as of 2016.

The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself). The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of the capital district located along the Potomac River near the country's East Coast. The City of Washington was founded in 1791, and Congress held its first session there in 1800. In 1801, the territory, formerly part of Maryland and Virginia (including the settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria), officially became recognized as the federal district. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia, including the city of Alexandria; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the district. There have been efforts to make the city into a state since the 1880s, a movement that has gained momentum in recent years, and a statehood bill passed the House of Representatives in 2021.

Wuchuan Gelao and Miao Autonomous County (referred to as Wuchuan County) is an autonomous county under the jurisdiction of Zunyi City, which is located in the border area of Guizhou and Chongqing. It is one of the two ethnic minority autonomous counties in China with the Gelao nationality as the main ethnic group. Wuchuan County is located in the northeast of Guizhou Province, connected with Dejiang County and Yanhe Tujia Autonomous County in the east, Zheng'an County and Daozhen Gelao and Miao Autonomous County in the west, Fenggang County in the south, and Wulong District in Chongqing and Pengshui Miao Tujia Autonomous County in the north. By the end of 2017, Wuchuan County covers an area of 2777.59 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 3 streets, 11 towns, 2 townships, 81 villages and 41 communities, with a resident population of 323100, with ethnic minorities accounting for 95.9% of the total population. On April 24, 2019, the people's Government of Guizhou Province formally approved the autonomy of the Gelao and Miao ethnic groups in Wuchuan.
