My bad,


I meant, Art III, sec 2.


"Section. 2.


Clause 1: The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between <U>two or more States</U>;--<U>between a State and Citizens of another State</U>; (See Note 10)--<U>between Citizens of different States</U>, --between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, <U>and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects." </U>


The last underlined phrase addresses foreign States&which has its own Citizens/Subjects/Nationals.& Just as the US&(both gov. corp and non-corp)&has its own Citizens/Subjects/Nationals.& It is written in your passport.& They give you a choice.& Also, the mere fact that the constitution states "two or more&States" clearly recognizes a potential third State or Jurisdiction being involved in a controversy.& If not, it would have only mentioned the US and DC. &I apologize for the confusion.& Welcome to the forum James.
