> It would be the only state with no agricultural interests,
Wasn't aware this was a requirement to be a state. Is it in the Constitution somewhere? We'll plant some corn on the Mall or something.
> the only state with no ports,
You clarify below you're talking about Ports of Entry, or state government buildings for managing goods coming into the state. So...DC will make some? Are these naturally occurring structures and if you don't have any in your area you're just screwed?
> the only state where the majority of the residents work for the federal government
Not even true. DC has 200,000 federal employees out of 680,000 residents. A little over a quarter. Not even close to a majority. Most federal employees work outside DC. Note that taking a job as a federal employee does not mean you should be deprived of Congressional representation.
