The Federal Government, formerly known as DC or District of Columbia (and often shortened to Gov), is a main character in the Welcome to the Table series, first appearing in "DC Calls a Meeting and Florida Comes".

## Personality

### D.C.

Previously, DC was know to try (and often fail) to save his sanity from all of the chaos that currently happens. He was shown to get annoyed by the state's crazy antics, and was shown to get uncomfortable and sweaty talking about politics, often stumbling upon his words. He ran the meetings and is very adamant on rules, to the annoyance of his state acquaintances.

### Government

Government appears to be a lot more stable as opposed to his previous self. He manages the meetings now after Donald Trump left office. He's also a lot more coherent, not afraid to talk about the flawed side of politics as well as the various problems with America's systems.

## Outfit

Gov. initially wore a black-greyish polo shirt for his first few appearances, however around the same time the Weekly News Recap name was introduced, he began to wear a white suit with a red tie and an American flag pin.He would later start wearing a blue suit coat, and the American flag pin was changed to being pinned on the suit jacket and his name was later changed to Government, and he got an all black suit coat, now with a blue tie in honor of Joe Biden being inaugurated. His tie color appears to change depending one what political party the current president is in

### Alternate Outfits

In "Election Sketch", he wore the same outfit, only without the red tie, likely due to the president being undecided at the time. In "The Politically Correct Night Before Christmas", he wore a grey polo again, only with the American Flag pin being on the polo as well.

## Relationships

### Friends

#### **CDC**

Gov's relationship with the CDC is often on-and-off, as his policies have negatively impacted the CDC, of which the CDC is annoyed by, however, Gov has sympathized with the CDC and occasionally brings him in, to which he has a friendly relationship with.

#### **International DC**

This relationship is one-sided, as the Government is generally on good terms with IDC, although IDC is dismissive of him despite the two being siblings.

#### **Utah**

Unlike the other 49 states, the Government seems to have a good relationship with Utah, due to both being passive and calm as opposed to the chaos of the other characters.

### Enemies

#### **Florida**

Florida is the exact opposite of Gov., and due to his love for driving Gov. insane, Gov. has a massive hate to him, although sometimes their interactions are positive.

#### **Louisiana**

The Government's dislike of Louisiana is similar to that of Florida, although slightly less intense due to Louisiana being slightly less chaotic than Florida.

#### **Iran**

This was only brought up once, when Iran called the Government and Florida mentioned them still being mad at the US.
