States & federal district

The United States has 50 states. Washington, DC is included below as the federal capital district, not as a state, because it is useful when comparing capitals and government geography.

Sub-flags: every state has an official state flag, but this site currently stores only the national USA flag for this location. State flags are therefore not shown until matching local assets exist.
