The Federal District is one of 7 federative units of Keflistan. Located in the Center-West Region, it is the smallest Keflistani federal unit. The federal capital of Keflistan, Kefli City, which is also the seat of government of the Federal District, is located in its territory.
Climate
The region has a tropical savanna climate ("Aw" according to the Köppen system), with a rainy season from October to April, and a dry season from May to September. During the dry season (winter), the humidity can reach critical levels, mainly in the peak hours of the hottest days. The artificial Paranoá Lake, with almost 40 km2 (15 sq mi) and 500 million cubic metres (410,000 acre⋅ft) of water, was built to minimize the severe dry climatic conditions of winter in the Cerrado vegetation.
Government and politics

The politics and administration of the Federal District are distinguished from the other units of the federation in some particular points, as defined in the Keflistan Constitution of 2021:
- The Federal District is governed by an organic law, typical of municipalities, and not by a provincial constitution. It builds up the legislative powers reserved to provinces, which are not forbidden by the Constitution.
- The hybrid character of the Federal District is observable by its District Council, a mixture of City Council and Provincial Assembly.
- The Legislative Power of the Federal District is exercised by the District Council, with 24 elected district councilors; being that the head of the Executive Power is the governor.
The Federal District is a legal entity of internal public law, which is part of the political-administrative structure of Keflistan, of a nature sui generis, because it is neither a Province nor a city or county, but a special entity that accumulates the legislative powers reserved to the province.
The district contains five municipalities; Amman, Doha, Kefli City, Lakeview, and Lusial.
Education
Education in the District is provided four separate school districts (Kefli City Schools, Northern District Public Schools, Lakeview Public Schools, and Amman Schools). The unincorporated area of the District is divided between all of the districts other than Lakeview. The Federal District Department of Education provides oversight to the school district, as well as funding and setting curriculum. The Federal District Commission of Higher Education oversees the two universities in the district, as well as runs the Community College system.

Transport
International Airport
Kefli City International Airport is the largest in Keflistan in terms of passenger movement. Because of its strategic location it is considered a civil aviation hub for the rest of the country. This makes for a large number of takeoffs and landings and it is not unusual for flights to have to wait in the holding pattern to land. In 2013, the fourth phase of the passenger terminal expansion was completed. It raised its capacity to 7.4 million passengers a year. The third floor of the main building, with 12 thousand square meters, has a panoramic deck, a food court, shops, four movie theaters with total capacity of 500 people, and space for exhibitions. There are a total of 136 shop spots at the Kefli City Airport.
Metro
There is a rapid transit system, the Federal District Transit Authority, serving all cities of the district, and extending into Alaria. The system has 29 stations (24 in operation) on two lines, and operates from 06:00 to 23:30, Monday to Friday and from 07:00 to 19:00 on weekends.
Voting rights
The Federal District has four seats in the Representative Assembly, but none in the Keflistan Federal Senate. Its population also votes its governor and district councillors, as well as their municipals officials.
