District of Columbia
It's original shape was a square, set on point like a diamond, 10 miles long on each side lying across the Virginia and Maryland state borders. Virginia got most of it's share back.
There used to be special stone markers along the boundaries every mile. A few are still left.

DC Comics has in basic terms been the valid call of the employer via fact the Nineteen Seventies. Up until then the call become casual, and the writer's valid call become national Periodical courses. NPP Comics would not sound as cool.
