Distrito Federal

The Distrito Federal (Federal District) is an enclave measuring 60km/37mi by 100km/62mi in the south-eastern highlands of Goiás state, with one corner extending to the boundary with Minas Gerais. As the seat of the federal administration it is of equal status with the self-governing states of the federation. Within the Federal District the city of Brasília was built on a unified plan to be the new capital of Brazil, succeeding Rio de Janeiro in that capacity in 1960.
