It has no county and it has no state. Just ask anyone who lives there --
no voting representation in Congress although we do have a vote in the
presidential elections for the past 35 years or thereabouts.
It is a city in a district in the United States. It is unlike all other
US locations. I enter it Washington, DC. If you want to spell it out, it
is Washington, District of Columbia. I don't put USA in any of my US
locations, but if I were outside the United States, I would enter
Washington, DC, USA.
Adding extra commas won't hurt, I suppose, since you can eliminate them
in printing reports.

We could use USA or United States for any address which is in the 50
states. However, I don't think it's in any way a part of an address of
a district. For instance, the "Virgin Islands".... I don't believe
they can lay claim to the USA part for their address.
Addresses in "districts" are not like addresses in the States.
Washington is a district called Columbia.
I lived only 75 miles from there and no one ever attached USA (just a
zip) to Washington D.C.

Well, I would do something like
Washington, , District of Columbia, United States
I don't know if there is a county or not.
