PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
We at Nationwide Life Insurance Company are pleased to bring you the 1998 annual
report of the Nationwide DC Variable Account.
Equity markets again defied the odds in 1998 to tally a fourth straight year of
double-digit gains, as measured by the major indices. This surprise came
following the breathtaking correction during the third quarter that gave us a
broad double-digit retreat. Fixed income investments also provided respectable
returns in 1998, supported by the continued low inflationary environment and
favorable Federal Reserve actions.
The performance of the American economy continues strong into 1999. However, we
believe the persisting slump in Asia and recent difficulties in Latin America
will inevitably take their toll and dampen growth in the United States. This
moderation, we think, will be healthy for our economy and get us back to a more
sustainable growth level. We look for interest rates to continue within the
range of the recent past, and we expect inflation to remain subdued. Moreover,
we remain optimistic about long-term prospects for U.S. business activity;
holders of financial assets should continue to profit from the anticipated
favorable investment climate.
We are pleased you have chosen our Company to provide the investment products
and services to help you meet your retirement savings and financial planning
goals.
/s/ Joseph J. Gasper

HOW TO READ THE ANNUAL REPORT
This Annual Report is sent to all customers who own a Nationwide annuity with
all or some of the funds in the Nationwide DC Variable Account (the Account).
The Account is a separate account trust which offers investment options in
ninety mutual funds from twenty-four mutual fund houses.
The Annual Report has two major financial sections.
STATEMENT OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND CONTRACT OWNERS' EQUITY
This statement, beginning on page 10, lists all the funds in the Account, the
number of shares owned, the amount paid for the shares (i.e., cost) and their
market value on December 31, 1998. The funds are generally presented in
alphabetical order. The market value of the assets change as the underlying
mutual fund shares change in value. As contract owners make exchanges between
the funds, the number of shares in each fund increases and decreases. When money
is deposited (withdrawn) by contract owners, shares of the mutual funds are
bought (sold) by the Account. The total market value of the funds is equal to
the Total investments.
Accounts receivable, if applicable, is an asset of the Account for money market
fund shares or reinvested dividend shares added to the contract owners'
accounts, but not yet added to Total investments. Total investments plus
Accounts receivable equals Total assets.
Accounts payable, if applicable, is a liability of the Account for money market
fund shares deducted from the contract owners' accounts, but not yet deducted
from Total investments.
Total assets minus Accounts payable equals Contract owners' equity. For a
summary of Contract owners' equity by fund series turn to page 41.
STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN CONTRACT OWNERS' EQUITY
These statements, found on page 14, show the activity in the Account for the
periods stated herein.
The Investment activity section shows the changes in unrealized gain (loss) of
the mutual funds in the Account, realized gain (loss) as shares of the funds are
bought (sold), mortality, expense and administration charges and the variable
account fee which are assessed through the daily unit value calculations, and
dividends and capital gains earnings from the underlying mutual funds.
The Equity transactions section illustrates the receipt of purchase payments by
the Account as new contracts are sold, existing contract owners deposit
additional funds; and deductions from the Account when money is withdrawn,
contracts are canceled, annuity benefits are paid, and annual contract
maintenance charges and contingent deferred sales charges are assessed.
Net change in contract owners' equity equals Investment activity plus Equity
transactions.
The Contract owners' equity at the beginning of the period plus the Net change
in contract owners' equity equals the Contract owners' equity at the end of the
period. Contract owners' equity at the end of the calendar year will equal the
Contract owners' equity at the beginning of the next year.
As you review the following pages of the Annual Report, the Notes to Financial
Statements, beginning on page 36, will also help explain and clarify the various
statements and schedules.

(ACTCIntlGr), The Institutional Shares of Federated GNMA Trust
(FedGNMA), Neuberger & Berman Guardian Trust (NBGuardTr) and Neuberger
& Berman Partners Fund (NBPartFd).
The contract owners' equity is affected by the investment results of
each fund, equity transactions by contract owners and certain expenses
(see note 2). The accompanying financial statements include only
contract owners' purchase payments pertaining to the variable portions
of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments for fixed dollar
benefits, the latter being included in the accounts of the Company.
(c) SECURITY VALUATION, TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME
The market value of the underlying mutual funds is based on the closing
net asset value per share at December 31, 1998. The cost of investments
sold is determined on the specific identification basis. Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy
or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
(d) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with,
operations of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company
under the IRC. The assets in this account are held pursuant to
contracts with entities which are exempt from Federal income tax.
Because of this exemption, no taxes need be provided for investment
income or realized and unrealized capital gains. Annuity payouts and
withdrawal payments are taxable as wages when received by the
participants.
(e) USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if
any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
(2) EXPENSES
Net purchase payments received for contracts issued before July 1, 1980,
represent contributions by the contract owners less a sales charge by the
Company of not more than 5%, to cover sales expenses. The Company does not
deduct a sales charge from purchase payments for contracts issued after
July 1, 1980. However, if any part of the contract value representing
participant accounts that have been established under the contracts and
held in the Account for less than sixteen (16) years is surrendered, the
Company will, with certain exceptions, assess a contingent deferred sales
charge. This charge will be equal to not more than 5% of the lesser of all
purchase payments received on behalf of the surrendering participant or
contract owner prior to the date of the request for surrender, or the
amount surrendered. Sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges of
less than 5% reflect actual variations in expense (usually reduced agents'
commissions). No sales charges are deducted on redemptions used to purchase
units in the fixed investment options of the Company. Sales charges may be
reduced or eliminated upon negotiated conversion of the contracts to other
investment programs offered by the Company or its affiliates.
The following contract charges are deducted by the Company on contracts
issued before July 1, 1980: (a) an annual contract maintenance charge of $8
assessed by surrendering units; (b) a charge for mortality and expense risk
assessed through the daily unit value calculation equal to an annual rate
of 0.95%; and (c) a charge on complete redemption, equal to the lesser of
$8 or 2% of the value of the account, except when such redemption occurs
within 31 days of the anniversary date of the contract.
39
<PAGE> 39
For contracts issued beginning July 1, 1980 through April 30, 1991,
contract charges include: (a) an annual contract maintenance charge of $12
or $15, based upon administrative services provided, assessed by
surrendering units; and (b) a charge for mortality and expense risk
assessed through the daily unit value calculation equal to an annual rate
of 0.95%.
For contracts issued on or after May 1, 1991, contract charges include a
mortality risk charge, an expense risk charge and an administration charge
assessed through the daily unit value calculation equal to an annual rate
of 0.35%, 0.15% and 0.45% respectively. Beginning November 1, 1996, the
administration charge was based upon the aggregate balance of assets held
under the contract by each contract owner as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Expense Administration
Tier Assets (Millions) Charge
--------- -------------- ------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
I Up to $10 .45%
II Over $10 to $25 .40%
III Over $25 to $50 .30%
IV Over $50 to $150 .20%
V Over $150 .15%
</TABLE>
The administration charge implemented on November 1, 1996 was based on the
June 30, 1996 asset balance. Thereafter, the administrative charge will be
determined using the December 31 asset balance and is effective at the next
expense tier on the following May 1.
For contracts issued beginning May 1, 1998 the Company will assess a charge
for a Variable Account Fee. Under the terms of the contracts, the Company
assumes various risks and incurs administrative expenses associated with
the issuance of the contracts. For the Company's contractual promise to
accept these risks and expenses, the contracts provide for the deduction of
a Account Fee, which is calculated as a percentage of assets and deducted
on each valuation date from amounts held in the Account. On an annual
basis, the maximum Variable Account Fee is 0.95% of the average account
value.
As with all other charges, this fee is subject to negotiation and may vary
from one contract to another reflecting the unique characteristics of
different contracts when considered as a whole. In negotiating the amount
of the fee, the Company may consider factors which may reduce expenses
incurred by the Company. These factors might include, but are not limited
to: (1) the size of the contract; (2) the number of eligible employees; (3)
the number of contract participants; (4) demographics of contract
participants; (5) general economic conditions; (6) the varying costs
associated with the inclusion of underlying mutual fund options; (7) the
type of contract issued (for example, whether the contract is issued as an
allocated contract or unallocated contract); (8) costs associated with
distribution of the contract; (9) any recovery of any credits on initial
transfers; and (10) any other factors which the Company deems relevant.
(See summary of variable account fees at Note 5)
Contract owners may negotiate an exchange privilege with the Company. The
exchange privilege provides for transfers of units among the various
investment options for each participant's account. The number of transfers
allowed, and any administrative charges associated therewith, are subject
to negotiation between the contract owner and the Company.
(3) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company performs various services on behalf of the Mutual Fund
Companies in which the Account invests and may receive fees for the
services performed. These services include, among other things, shareholder
communications, preparation, postage, fund transfer agency and various
other record keeping and customer service functions. These fees are paid to
an affiliate of the Company.

Independent Auditors' Report
----------------------------
TheBoard of Directors of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and
Contract Owners of Nationwide DC Variable Account:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and
contract owners' equity of Nationwide DC Variable Account as of December 31,
1998, and the related statements of operations and changes in contract owners'
equity for each of the years in the two year period then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1998, by correspondence with
the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Nationwide DC Variable
Account as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its
changes in contract owners' equity for each of the years in the two year period
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
