Virginia is a state on the Atlantic coast of the United States.[1] It was one of the Thirteen Colonies prior to the Revolutionary War.[2]
History[]
One of the state's principal cities is Williamsburg. In 1760, the headquarters of the Magical Congress of the United States of America moved there, but was relocated once again shortly thereafter.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
MACUSA executing its worst criminals via its Death Cell may be a reflection of how the United States still utilises the death penalty for many of their most dangerous offenders. The Commonwealth of Virginia has executed over 1,300 people, more than any other state in the nation, although the rate had been in decline for many years until the state abolished capital punishment in 2021.
