A federal capital is a political entity, often a municipality or capital city, that enjoys status as a seat of government in a federal state. A federal capital is typically a city that physically encompasses the offices and meeting places of its respective government, where its location and relationship to subnational states are fixed by law or federal constitution. Federal capitals may or may not be considered states in themselves, and either exercise significant political autonomy from the federation or are directly ruled by the national government located within their premises, as federal districts. Examples of well-known federal capitals include Washington, D.C., which is not part of any U.S. state but borders Maryland and Virginia; Berlin, which is a state of Germany in its own right and forms an enclave within the much larger state of Brandenburg; and the Australian Capital Territory, a territory of Australia which includes the capital city of Australia, Canberra. ==Examples of federal capitals== *Argentina: Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, formerly ''Capital Federal'' *Austria: Vienna *Australia: Canberra *Belgium: Brussels capital region *Bosnia and Herzegovina: Sarajevo *Brazil: Brasilia *Canada: Ottawa *Comoros: Moroni *Ethiopia: Addis Ababa *Germany: Berlin *India: New Delhi *Iraq: Baghdad *Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur *Mexico: Mexico City *Micronesia, (Federated States of): Palikir *Nepal: Kathmandu *Nigeria: Federal Capital Territory of Abuja *Pakistan: Islamabad *Russia: Moscow *Saint Kitts and Nevis: Basseterre *South Sudan: Juba (proposed future federal capital: Ramciel) *Spain: Madrid *Sudan: Khartoum *Switzerland: Bern *United Arab Emirates: Abu Dhabi *United States: Washington, D.C. *Venezuela: Caracas 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「federal capital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
