In contests that distinguish between Canada's Yukon, Northwest Territories, 
 and Nunavut, it makes as much or more sense to recognize the District of  
Columbia as being separate from Maryland. As scare as DC might be, it  still 
has more active hams (or at least more active hams that can be heard  
through auroral propagation) than all three of those territories combined.
 
In contests that combine those three territories into one multiplier, it is 
 logical is to include the District of Columbia as part of Maryland.
 
Likewise, in contests that use ARRL/RAC sections, it follows  to use the 
MDC section. (The Canadian northern territories are not  an RAC section; they 
are a special exception from their administrative  treatment of being part 
of the Alberta section).
 
The NAQP is the first type of contest - it counts the three Canadian  
northern territories as separate multipliers.

That is  kind of the point. Washington, DC is not a state either. Let's 
leave well  enough alone.
