I meant physically central within the contiguous 48. But mostly just would love to get the federal govt out of this area.

It aint happening so it doesnt matter.

From a historical perspective the federal government was placed in dc as part of the grand compromise to keep government seperate from the powerful business interests located in NYC and Philadelphia. At this point the midatlantic is the equivalent of nyc and philadelphia back then and moving it to a less urbanized seat would keep that same intended balance.
