Federal Territories are regions in a country that are governed directly by the national government rather than a state or provincial government. In many countries, these areas are established to ensure that certain regions are managed uniformly and can receive direct federal support. Examples of federal territories include Washington, D.C. in the United States and Canberra in Australia. In Malaysia, there are three federal territories: Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan. These territories have unique administrative structures and are often centers for government activities, commerce, and culture. Federal territories can also be created for specific purposes, such as promoting development or managing resources effectively.
