The City of London motto as shown on coat of arms is "'DOMINE DIRIGE NOS' - This is ambiguous!
We are told by CoLC that this means "Lord, direct us", implying working for Christ. However use of a Latin English translator shows it could equally mean:
Definition of Domine, dirige nos : Lord, guide us — motto of the City of London

5) St. Paul worked closely with st Peter in Rome and they are buried together! However it was Paul who had the first church in Rome (before the vatican) and Paul who mingled pagan roman gods and festivals with Christianity. Some say Paul was the first pope, not Peter.

Just like the Vatican, the CoL appears to be a nation unto itself, not governed by any body elected by the people.
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as "Washington", "the District", or simply "D.C.", is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast.
Washington DC is not one of the 50 states. But it's an important part of the U.S. The District of Columbia is our nation's capital. Congress established the federal district from land belonging to the states of Maryland and Virginia in 1790.

I am sorry but the City of London is not and does not present any features of self government. It's a local authority with some deeply rooted traditions.

But why let the truth get in the way of a good tale, eh?! I actually worked for the Corporation of London for a couple of years in the 1980's. It is a local authority with a few quirks. As for D.C. being "a DISTRICT of the CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION controlled under Admiralty International Flag Law" ... oh, dear.

The earth is owned by this small island and they will exercise this right whenever they wish to show enough is enough. The queen owns the seas and anything it touches, America is a corporation of the UK and they are given liberty (statue of liberty) to do as they please.

I used to run a pub in Whitechapel and it was just down the road from the square mild and me and a pal used to go for midnight walks there, it is very quiet after midnight there and on ever occasion the city police turned up to ask us what we were doing.
They protect the banks can't have plebs walking about after dark there eh?.
