When did Columbia become a country?
It's not a state.
It is a federal district of the eastern United States on the Potomac River between Virginia and Maryland. Coextensive with the city of Washington, it was established by congressional acts of 1790 and 1791 on a site selected by George Washington. Article One of the constitution allowed for a federal district for the federal government to be based in so that no state would have an unfair advantage over the other because it housed the federal government.
Under the 23rd Amendment (1961), the approximately 600,000 residents of Washington DC (coterminous with the District) were given 3 electoral votes in Presidential elections. However, the city's representation in Congress is still limited to one non-voting delegate.

That coupled with the population density and the average work week will calculate to somewhere between 11 and 30 cents per year.
