Commentary about Federal DistrictFederal districts are a type of Administrative division of a Federation, under the direct control of a federal government. They exist in various countries. The seat of the U.S. federal government in Washington is a Federal district known as the District of Columbia. In addition, the U.S. government has several other kinds of "federal districts" which are not specifically related to a capital city In Malaysia, the term Federal Territory is used for the three territories governed directly by the federal government, namely Kuala Lumpur , Putrajaya and Labuan Island . In India, the term Union Territory is used for the six territories governed indirectly by the federal national government with its own Chief minister and governor of Delhi, others namely include - Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Lakshadweep and Pondicherry. In Pakistan, the term Federal Territory is used for the five zones and 12 union councils of Islamabad governed directly by the state government as Islamabad Capital Territory. There are eight Federal districts of Russia, which function as an additional administrative layer between other subdivisions and the Russian Federation as a whole. But these have nothing to do with the territory surrounding a Capital city. However, there are also two cities of federal significance, established by the Constitution - Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Each City is treated as separate subject of Federation, and has its own legislative body. Such status is based on certain special functions which these two cities have, including location of federal government and federal judicial institutions.
