• Places its power in one central governing system
• Very little political power exists outside the central government
• The powers of this governing system are uniformly applied throughout
• All major government decisions are made by the central government
• If smaller government units are established they are controlled by the central government and can be abolished by such without their consent
• Many unitary governments are either dictatorships or totalitarian
• France, although Democratic, is governed by a Unitarian body
• Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Barbados, Morocco, and Spain are examples of unitary monarchy government
• China, Afghanistan, Italy, Zambia, and the Ukraine are examples of unitary republic government
The Federal Governing System:
• Distributes power from the national government to local/state governments to adopt laws that are reasonable to the country as a whole and the localities
• Power may be diffused in the federal system
• Multi-national states often have a federal system
• Larger countries often adopt the federal system since constituents may live in areas remote to the location of the central government
• Ethnicities with in a country may lead to a federal system as their rules and laws may vary. An example of this is the small country of Belgium which balances the needs two distinct ethnic groups
