A federal state (federation) is a complex form of territorial structure of a state in which the territorial units (subjects of the federation) that are part of the state have political, legal, economic and cultural independence and have their own administrative-territorial division.

FORM OF GOVERNMENT - a way of organizing the highest bodies of government. FORMS OF GOVERNMENT
