Although geographically separate, the three city states of the Vatican, the Corporation of London, and the District of Columbia are one interlocking empire called The Empire of the City (https://nicklasarthur.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/the-empire-of-the-city/). The flag of the District of Columbia has three red stars, one for each city state in the three city empire.

This tripartite union controls the world economically through London’s Square Mile financial district, militarily through the District of Columbia, with the Vatican, its head and Spiritual center.
