Changes: Washington, D.C.

Revision as of 22:09, 2 September 2013

Washington, D.C. is the historical seat of the government of the United States, and seems to serve as the same function for Earth's Government. While the original city was named after the first American president George Washington, in 2475 the city was rededicated to Washington the Sweathog.

Notable Landmarks

Memorials

The Washington Memorial: A marble obelisk built in 1884 to honor the United States' first President, George Washington, it has a shallow reflecting pool in front of the memorial which was deepened at some point so that Earthlicans could go swimming.
The Clinton Memorial: A second obelisk built next to the Washington memorial, to honor Bill Clinton. It stands noticeably taller than its Washingtonian counterpart.
The Lincoln Memorial: A marble temple built with an imposing statue of Abraham Lincoln with inscriptions of his famous speeches.

Government Buildings

The White House: the traditional home of the sitting President, it was stolen from Washington in the 2600's by the super villain governor of New New York and relocated to Monument Beach. There it was destroyed during the First Omicronian Invasion of Earth in 3000, but was rebuilt by 3008 back in Washington D.C., where President Nixon lived out his latest term.
Earth's Supreme Court building: where the Supreme Court of Earth meets and decides cases.

Embassy Row

Many planets that keep diplomatic ties with Earth choose to build an embassy in Washington, D.C., many of which happen to be convieniently located on Embassy Row. During a Freedom Day fiasco, Zapp Brannigan marched troops down Embassy Row in order to break into the Decapodian embassy to arrest Zoidberg. The Decapodians saw this as an act of war and immediately launched an invasion of Earth in response.

Other Landmarks

The Watergate Hotel: they give you a discount if you stay there more than once!
