LOCATION: Washington D.C. (D.C. means District of Columbia) is the national capital of the United States of America. It is the seat of the federal government of the USA. The site for the capital city was chosen by president George Washington himself. It is situated near the east coast on the Potomac river which flows into Chesapeake Bay. Washington D.C. is sometimes nicknamed the white colour town because of the fact, that there are many clerks and administrative officers (white-collars). The city itself has a population about 600 000 people but when considering the urban agglomeration it is more than 5 million people.
