It's not in the list. - Of course, adding it in won't change things much!
(Consider the number of letters in "District of Columbia"...)
The list does include the four Non-States That Are Always Confused With
States, however.

That's reasonable. You might consider a solution with and without spaces
as 'letters'.

Yes.

If you mean that every letter must appear in both pairs of states the
exact same number of times, then yes. (E.g. if you use 'Ohio:Iowa' as
a pair, then the other pair of states must have 1 'a', 1 'h', 2 'i's,
3 'o', and 1 'w'.)
