Growing up in Silver Spring, Maryland, right on the north "point" of Washington DC, I have long been fascinated by the geometry of the District. A perfect square, 10 miles by 10 miles, placed on exactly 45 degrees and inset into (well, carved out of) Maryland. So, thinking about adding DC as the 51st state, this is my suggestion of how to add DC, and keep the current pattern.
Also this would allow all existing flags to be retrofitted for the addition of DC . . . . not very capitalistic, but there ya go.
I was born in DC.
It is my homeland.
I belong to no damn State and like that.
