Unitaryvaltiot
Unitaryvaltiot, often translated as unitary states, represent a form of government where a central authority holds supreme power. Any administrative divisions within a unitary state, such as regions or provinces, exist only to carry out the policies of the central government. These sub-national units do not possess independent powers or sovereignty. The central government can create, abolish, or alter these divisions at its will. Examples of unitary states include France, the United Kingdom, and Japan. In contrast to federal states, where power is divided between a central government and constituent states or provinces, a unitary system concentrates authority. Laws passed by the national legislature are applied uniformly throughout the entire country. While local governments may exist in unitary states, their powers are delegated by the central government and can be revoked. This structure often leads to a more streamlined and consistent policy implementation across the nation.
