Vermont and Wyoming are less populated than DC. And Alaska and both Dakotas are just a little more populated.
There is no standard and if there was DC would meet it given it's already more populated than two states.
There are more than 700,000 people living there without representation in the federal government.
They should have 2 senators and a single representative just like any other State with that many people.
There is nothing absurd about the proposition. One the other hand it's absurd to expect DC residents to pay federal taxes without representation.
