Chairman's
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
[PHOTO OF ROBERT P. BREMNER] | Robert P. Bremner | Chairman of the Board
Dear Shareholders,
I write this letter in a time of continued uncertainty about the current state
of the U.S. financial system and pessimism about the future of the global
economy. Many have observed that the conditions that led to the crisis have
built up over time and will complicate and extend the course of recovery. At the
same time, government officials in the U.S. and abroad have implemented a wide
range of programs to restore stability to the financial system and encourage
economic recovery. History teaches us that these efforts will moderate the
extent of the downturn and hasten the inevitable recovery, even though it is
hard to envision that outcome in the current environment.
As you will read in this report, the continuing financial and economic problems
are weighing heavily on asset values for equities and fixed income, and
unfortunately the performance of the Nuveen Funds has been similarly affected. I
hope that you will carefully review the Portfolio Manager's Comments, the Common
Share Dividend and Share Price Information and the Performance Overview sections
of this report. These comments highlight the manager's pursuit of investment
strategies that depend on thoroughly researched securities, diversified
portfolio holdings and well established investment disciplines to achieve your
Fund's investment goals. The Fund Board believes that a consistent focus on long
term investment goals provides the basis for successful investment over time and
we monitor your Fund with that objective in mind.
Nuveen continues to work on resolving the auction rate preferred shares
situation, but the unsettled conditions in the credit markets have slowed
progress. Nuveen is actively pursuing a number of solutions, all with the goal
of providing liquidity for preferred shareholders while preserving the potential
benefits of leverage for common shareholders. We appreciate the patience you
have shown as we have worked through the many issues involved. Please consult
the Nuveen website: www.Nuveen.com, for the most recent information.
On behalf of myself and the other members of your Fund's Board, we look forward
to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ ROBERT P. BREMNER

Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS
Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds | NMY, NFM, NZR, NWI,
NPV, NGB, NNB
Portfolio manager Cathryn Steeves discusses key investment strategies and the
six-month performance of the Nuveen Maryland and Virginia Funds. Cathryn, who
joined Nuveen in 1996, has managed these seven Funds since 2006.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA FUNDS DURING
THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2008?
During this period, stress in the financial and credit markets led to increased
price volatility for many securities, reduced liquidity and a general flight to
quality. In this turbulent environment, we took a defensive approach to managing
the Funds, focusing on preserving and enhancing liquidity, managing duration1
risk, and continuing to invest for the long term.
As events unfolded, we carefully watched the municipal bond market for
attractive purchase opportunities, using a fundamental approach to discover
undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to perform well
over the long term. One area of the market that we found attractive during this
period was health care and we purchased bonds in this sector for all of the
Maryland and Virginia Funds.
To provide liquidity for purchases, we monitored the types of credits and bond
structures that were attractive to the retail market and took advantage of
strong bids to sell such bonds into solid retail demand. Given the market
environment, retail demand was strongest for higher credit quality bonds,
especially tax-backed securities with intermediate maturities. In addition, the
Maryland Funds found opportunities to sell holdings that were purchased when
yields were lower and replace them with similar, newer credits that yielded
comparatively more. This process allowed us to maintain the Funds' current
portfolio characteristics while strengthening their future income streams.
As a key dimension of risk management, we employed a disciplined approach to
duration positioning as an important component of our overall strategy. As part
of this approach, we used inverse floating rate securities(2) in all of the
Maryland and Virginia Funds throughout this period. Inverse floaters typically
provide the dual benefit of bringing the Funds' durations closer to our
strategic target and enhancing their income-generation capabilities.
1 Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates change,
with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these changes than
bonds with shorter durations.
2 An inverse floating rate security also known as inverse floaters, is a
financial instrument designed to pay long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate
that varies inversely with a short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the
Nuveen Funds, the index typically used is the Securities Industry and Financial
Markets (SIFM) Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market
Association Index or BMA). Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating
rate securities in which the Funds invested during this reporting period, are
further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report sections of this shareholder report.
Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Discussions of
specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as
recommendations of individual investments. The forward-looking statements and
other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio manager as of the date
of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly
from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements and the views expressed

HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM?
Individual results for the Nuveen Maryland and Virginia Funds, as well as
relevant index and peer group information, are presented in the accompanying
table.

For the six months ended November 30, 2008, the cumulative returns on common
share net asset value (NAV) for NMY and NPV exceeded the average return for the
Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average, while NFM, NZR, NWI, NGB and
NNB lagged this average. All of the Funds underperformed the national Barclays
Capital Municipal Bond Index and Standard & Poor's National Municipal Bond
Index. Shareholders should note the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds
Average and the Barclay Capital Municipal Bond Index include bonds from states
not covered in this report, which may make direct comparisons between the Funds
and these benchmarks less meaningful.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period
included duration and yield curve positioning, the use of inverse floaters,
credit exposure and sector allocations. In addition, the use of leverage was an
important factor affecting each Fund's performance over this period. The impact
of leverage is discussed in more detail on page 7.
*Six-month returns are cumulative; returns for one-year, five-year and ten-year
are annualized.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be
higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of
taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale
of Fund shares.
For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your
Fund in this report.
3 The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using the
returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as follows:
six-months, 46; 1 year, 46; 5 years, 46; and 10 years, 18. Fund and Lipper
returns assume reinvestment of dividends.
4 The Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, unmanaged national index comprising a broad range of
investment-grade municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect
any expenses.
5 The Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged,
market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the
investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market.

Over the course of this reporting period, we saw the yield curve steepen, as
interest rates at the short end of the curve declined and longer rates rose.
Given these changes in the interest rate environment, bonds in the Barclays
Capital Municipal Bond Index with maturities of ten years or less generally
outperformed the market as a whole, with bonds maturing in two to four years
benefiting the most. Because they were less sensitive to interest rate changes,
these shorter bonds generally outperformed credits with longer maturities, with
the biggest losses posted by bonds with the longest maturities (twenty-two years
and longer). In general, these Funds had less exposure to the outperforming
short end of the yield curve than the index and more exposure to the
underperforming longer part of the curve. This was especially true of NFM, which
had the longest duration among these seven Funds. Although the Funds' duration
and yield curve positioning was a net negative for performance, the Funds were
positively impacted by their allocations to bonds with intermediate maturities,
which performed well.
As mentioned earlier, all of these Funds used inverse floaters to help bring
their durations closer to our strategic target and enhance income-generation
capabilities. In general, these inverse floaters had a negative impact on
performance. This resulted from the fact that the inverse floaters effectively
increased the Funds' exposure to longer maturity bonds at a time when shorter
maturities were in favor in the market.
Credit exposure was also an important factor in performance during these six
months. Because risk-averse investors generally sought higher quality
investments as disruptions in the financial markets deepened, bonds with higher
credit quality typically performed very well. At the same time, as many
investors avoided high-yield securities, bonds rated BBB or below and non-rated
bonds generally posted poor returns. Insured bonds with underlying credits that
were rated BBB or non-rated, originally purchased because of the higher yields
they offered, were disproportionately impacted (compared with bonds with
underlying credits rated AA or A) if the insurer backing the bond was
downgraded. While exposure to lower-rated credits had a negative impact on the
Funds for this period, the six-month performances of NMY and NPV, which can
invest only in investment-grade securities, benefited from their overall higher
credit quality.
During this period, pre-refunded bonds(6), which are backed by U.S. Treasury
securities, were one of the top performing segments of the market, due primarily
to their shorter effective maturities, higher credit quality and perceived
safety. Additional sectors of the market that generally contributed to the
Funds' performances included general obligation and other tax-backed bonds and
water and sewer, electric utilities and
6 Pre-refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur when
an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest
payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing
costs for bond issuers.

education credits. The Maryland Funds, in particular, benefited from their
heavier allocations to the education sector. However, the Funds generally had
lower holdings of tax-backed bonds than the market as a whole, which lessened
the positive contribution from this sector.
In general, bonds that were lower rated, regardless of sector, posted weak
performance. Revenue bonds as a whole, and the industrial development, health
care, and housing sectors in particular, underperformed the general municipal
market. Next to the industrial development revenue sector, zero coupon bonds
were among the worst performing categories in the municipal market. While the
Funds had only small exposures to the industrial development revenue sector,
their performances were hurt by their overweighting of both the health care and
housing sectors, especially in NFM, during this period.
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' CAPITAL STRUCTURES AND LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
In addition to the factors previously discussed, one of the primary factors
impacting the six-month returns of these Funds relative to those of the
unleveraged indexes was the Funds' use of financial leverage. While leverage
offers opportunities to generate additional income and total returns for common
shareholders, the benefits provided by leveraging are influenced by the price
movements of the bonds in each Fund's portfolio. During this period, as yields
on longer-term bonds rose and their prices correspondingly fell, declining
valuations had a negative effect on performance that was magnified by the use of
leverage. In addition, at various points during the six-month period, the Funds'
borrowing costs were relatively high, negatively impacting their total returns.
RECENT MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
Beginning in October, the nation's financial institutions and financial
markets--including the municipal bond market--experienced significant turmoil.
Reductions in demand decreased valuations of municipal bonds across all credit
ratings, especially those with lower credit ratings, and this generally reduced
the Funds' common share net asset values. The municipal market is one in which
dealer firms make markets in bonds on a principal basis using their proprietary
capital, and during the recent market turmoil these firms' capital was severely
constrained. As a result, some firms were unwilling to commit their capital to
purchase and to serve as a dealer for municipal bonds. This reduction in dealer
involvement in the market was accompanied by significant net selling pressure by
investors, particularly with respect to lower-rated municipal bonds, as
institutional investors generally removed money from the municipal bond
7
market, at least in part because of their need to reduce the leveraging of their
municipal investments. This deleveraging was in part driven by the overall
reduction in the amount of financing available for such leverage, the increased
costs of such leverage financing, and the need to reduce leverage levels that
had recently increased due to the decline in municipal bond prices.
Municipal bond prices were further negatively impacted by concerns that the need
for further de-leveraging and a supply overhang (a large amount of new issues
that were postponed) would cause selling pressure to persist for a period of
time. In addition to falling prices, the following market conditions resulted in
greater price volatility of municipal bonds - wider credit spreads (i.e., lower
quality bonds fell in price more than higher quality bonds); significantly
reduced liquidity (i.e., the ability to sell bonds at a price close to their
carrying value), particularly for lower quality bonds; and a lack of price
transparency (i.e., the ability to accurately determine the price at which a
bond would likely trade). Reduced liquidity was most pronounced in mid-October,
although it improved considerably after that period.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES
Another factor that had an impact on the performance of these Funds was their
position in bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that experienced downgrades
in their credit ratings. During the period covered by this report, ACA, AMBAC,
CIFG, FGIC, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA (formerly XLCA) experienced one or more
rating reductions by at least one or more rating agencies while AGC and FSA
received their first rating reductions by at least one rating agency. At the
time this report was prepared, at least one rating agency has placed each of
these insurers except AGC on "negative outlook" or "negative credit watch,"
which may presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in
the future. As concern increased about the balance sheets of these insurers,
prices on bonds insured by these companies - especially those bonds with weaker
underlying credits - declined, detracting from the Funds' performance. By the
end of this period, most insured bonds were being valued according to their
fundamentals as if they were uninsured. On the whole, the holdings of all of our
Funds continued to be well diversified not only between insured and uninsured
bonds, but also within the insured bond category. It is important to note that
municipal bonds historically have had a very low rate of default.
8
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SECURITIES MARKETS
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the auction rate preferred shares issued by these Funds
than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear"
and that many or all auction rate preferred shareholders who wanted to sell
their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity
in auction rate preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these
shares, and auction rate preferred shareholder unable to sell their shares
received distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as
calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the auction rate
preferred shares. At the time this report was prepared, the Funds' managers
could not predict when future auctions might succeed in attracting sufficient
buyers for the shares offered, if ever. The Funds' managers are working
diligently to refund the auction rate preferred shares, and have made progress
in these efforts, (at least for certain funds) but at present there is no
assurance that these efforts will succeed. These developments have generally not
affected the portfolio management or investment policies of these Funds.
However, one implication of these auction failures for common shareholders is
that the Funds' cost of leverage will likely be higher, at least temporarily,
than it otherwise would have been had the auctions continued to be successful.
As a result, the Funds' future common share earnings may be lower than they
otherwise would have been.
On June 11, 2008, Nuveen announced the Fund Board's approval of plans to use
tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate securities, to refinance
a portion of the municipal Funds' outstanding auction rate preferred shares, for
which auctions have been failing for several months. This plan included an
initial phase of approximately $1 billion in forty-one Funds. As of November 30,
2008, none of the Funds included in this shareholder report had issued par
redemption notices for their auction rate preferred shares.
On August 7, 2008, four Nuveen municipal Funds (none of which are included in
this shareholder report) issued par redemption notices for all outstanding
shares of their auction rate preferred shares totaling $569.9 million. These
redemptions were achieved through the issuance of variable rate demand preferred
shares (VRDP) in conjunction with the proceeds from the creation of TOBs.
On January 8, 2009, subsequent to the reporting period, NMY, NFM, NZR and NWI
noticed for redemption $0.5 million, $3.125 million, $2.45 million and $0.875
million of their outstanding auction rate preferred shares, respectively, at
liquidation value, using the proceeds from the issuance of TOBs and portfolio
sales.

Common Share
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
During the six-month period ended November 30, 2008, there was one dividend
increase in each of the following Funds: NMY, NWI, NPV and NGB. The dividends of
NFM, NZR and NNB remained stable throughout the reporting period.
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that
reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During
certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it
holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as
part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in
excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise
reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net
investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of November 30, 2008, all of
the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances, based upon our best
estimate, for tax purposes. NMY, NWI, NPV and NGB had positive UNII balances
while NFM, NZR and NNB had negative UNII balances for financial statement
purposes.
The Funds' Board of Trustees approved an open-market share repurchase program on
July 30, 2008, under which each Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its common
shares. As of November 30, 2008 the Funds' have not repurchased any of their
outstanding common shares.
As of November 30, 2008, the Funds' common share prices were trading at premiums
or discounts to their common share NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart:
11/30/08 Six-Month Average
Premium/Discount Premium/Discount
NMY -21.81% -13.49%
NFM -12.49% -4.28%

Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to

assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.

Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding the tax-exempt status of the bonds'

interest on the bonds should be treated as taxable.

Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to
AAA rated securities.

Investments is 38.7%.
N/R Not rated.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock
exchange symbols are Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund (NMY), Nuveen
Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFM), Nuveen Maryland Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NZR), Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal
Fund 3 (NWI), Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund (NPV), Nuveen
Virginia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NGB) and Nuveen Virginia Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NNB) (collectively, the "Funds"). Common shares of
Maryland Premium Income (NMY) and Virginia Premium Income (NPV) are traded on
the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of Maryland Dividend Advantage
(NFM), Maryland Dividend Advantage 2 (NZR), Maryland Dividend Advantage 3 (NWI),
Virginia Dividend Advantage (NGB) and Virginia Dividend Advantage 2 (NNB) are
traded on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment
companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio
of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within
a single state or certain U.S. territories.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Investment Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. When market price
quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service may establish fair value based on yields or
prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity
and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of
anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. Prices of
forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by each Fund's Board of Trustees. If the pricing service is unable to
supply a price for an investment or derivative instrument, each Fund may use
market quotes provided by major broker/dealers in such investments. If it is
determined that the market price for an investment or derivative instrument is
unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its
designee, may establish fair value in accordance with procedures established in
good faith by the Board of Trustees. Temporary investments in securities that
have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended
settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At November 30, 2008, there
were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
68
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state
income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders
of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid
by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
Effective November 30, 2007, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes"
(FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it
is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., a greater than 50-percent likelihood) of being
sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax expense in the current year.
Implementation of FIN 48 required management of the Funds to analyze all open
tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major
jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are
those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the
last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have
no examinations in progress.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the
reporting period, management of the Funds has reviewed all tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds' tax returns and
concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to the Funds' net assets
or results of operations as of and during the six months ended November 30,
2008.
The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital
gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Preferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per
share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares
are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each
Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process
overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period. As
of November 30, 2008, the number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and
in total, for each Fund is as follows:

=====================================================================================================================
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were
offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many
Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were
unable to do so. Preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as calculated
in accordance with the pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.
These developments have generally not affected the portfolio management or
investment policies of these Funds. However, one implication of these auction
failures for Common shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will likely
be higher, at least temporarily, than it otherwise would have been had the
auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future Common share
earnings may be lower than they otherwise would have been.
On June 11, 2008, Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen") announced the Fund Board's
approval of plans to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as "floaters" or
floating rate obligations, to refinance a portion of the municipal funds'
outstanding Preferred shares, whose auctions have been failing for several
months. The plan included an initial phase of approximately $1 billion in
forty-one funds. As of November 30, 2008, the Funds have not redeem any of their
outstanding Preferred shares.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An
inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond,
typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in
face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market
value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties,
and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that
represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received
by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to
the floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse
floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside
investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential
appreciation of the underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating
rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the
interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying
bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates,
and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of
loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the
Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to
tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate
bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment
in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as an "Inverse floating
70
rate investment". An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted
for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 140 (SFAS No. 140) "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". In such
instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Underlying bond of an inverse
floating rate trust", with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate
certificates issued by the trust as "Floating rate obligations" on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income
the entire earnings of the underlying bond and the related interest paid to the
holders of the short-term floating rate certificates is included as "Interest
expense on floating rate obligations" on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended November 30, 2008, each Fund invested in
externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes
referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit recovery swap") (such agreements
referred to herein as "Recourse Trusts") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund
agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the
difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the
trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the
trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a
Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may
increase beyond the value of a Fund's inverse floater investments as a Fund may
potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating
rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is included as "Unrealized
depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At
November 30, 2008, none of the Funds had exposure to externally-deposited
Recourse Trusts.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest
rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the six months
ended November 30, 2008, were as follows:

=====================================================================================================================
Forward Swap Transactions
Each Fund is authorized to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions.
Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help
the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer,
generally to more closely align the Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that
of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve
each Fund's agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or
variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a
variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a
specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment
obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract and the
termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond's maturity). The value of
the Fund's swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the
extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the
swap's termination date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap
contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is
recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve
the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather
is settled in cash on a net basis. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to
terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of
loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to
the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment
to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. To reduce such credit
risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the
daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately
equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold.
Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract,
the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as
collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss
above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and
subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate, either up or
down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount. None of the Funds invested
in forward interest rate swap transactions during the six months ended November
30, 2008.

Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon
security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life
of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from
accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security
at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Trustees are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds
enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The
Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157) "Fair Value
Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosure about fair value measurements. In determining the value of each
Fund's investments various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the
three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit
risk, etc.).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management's
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of each Fund's fair value measurements as of November
30, 2008:

5. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount,
timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment
transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate
transactions subject to SFAS No. 140. To the extent that differences arise that
are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital
accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual
report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not
require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the
net asset values of the Funds.

At May 31, 2008, the Funds' last tax year end, Maryland Dividend Advantage (NFM)
had unused capital loss carryforwards of $183,719 available for federal income
tax purposes to be applied against future capital gains, if any. If not applied,
$106,052, $15,613 and $62,504 of the carryforward will expire in the years ended
May 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
Virginia Dividend Advantage 2 (NNB) elected to defer net realized losses from
investments incurred from November 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008, the Fund's last
tax year end, ("post-October losses") in accordance with federal income tax
regulations. Post-October losses of $6,148 were treated as having arisen on the
first day of the current fiscal year.
6. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by Nuveen
Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen, and a
specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each
individual Fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to
benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from
growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

| Notes to

The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares)
of each Fund as follows:

For net assets over $2 billion .3750
====================================================================================================================================
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the
aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the following table.
As of November 30, 2008, the complex-level fee rate was .2000%.
76
The complex-level fee schedule is as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996

$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
====================================================================================================================================
(1) The complex-level component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate daily net assets of all Nuveen funds,
with such daily net assets to include assets attributable to preferred
stock issued by or borrowings by such funds but to exclude assets
attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are affiliated with the
Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services
to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has
adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables
Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual
compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised funds.
Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had
been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised funds.
For the first ten years of Maryland Dividend Advantage's (NFM) and Virginia
Dividend Advantage's (NGB) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the
Funds, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for

7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 161 (SFAS No. 161)
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard is intended to enhance
financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging
activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses
derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of November 30, 2008,
management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be
required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.

* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net
asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value,
if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid
on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be
reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for
the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's
market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different
from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.
*** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable
to Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.
(b) For the six months ended November 30, 2008.

* Rounds to less than $.01 per share.
** Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net
asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value,
if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid
on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be
reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the
last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's
market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different
from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY and CONVENIENTLY
NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains distributions in additional Fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the
shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be
purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. Dividends and distributions received to
purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions
awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed
the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer
shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by
the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open
market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually
will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
88
FLEXIBLE
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

Glossary of
TERMS USED in this REPORT
o AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
sale are deemed to have "failed", with current holders receiving a
formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
o AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time
period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year
to equal the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change
in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
o AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments
or the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.
o INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities are created by
depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a
special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a)
issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt
interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the
deposited bond's par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater")
to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure
to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the
inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the
floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the holder
of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond's
downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also
benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents
an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
o LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period
over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently
is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to
changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's
or Fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as
interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the
leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of
the Fund's portfolio of bonds.
o MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
o NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's NAV per common share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then
dividing the remainder by the number of common shares outstanding. Fund
NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
o TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable
investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond
investment.
o ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest
coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to
the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the
original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the
bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of
zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of
bonds that pay interest periodically.
