The Distrito Nacional is a subdivision of the Dominican Republic enclosing the capital Santo Domingo, so it is not in any of the provinces. It is a municipality but, in some aspects, it is like a province; for example, it elects one senator to the congress.
Before 16 October 2001, the Distrito Nacional was much larger, including what is now the Santo Domingo Province.
