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.
