territorial and constitutional community forming part of a federal union
A federated state is a region or territory that has joined together with other regions under a shared federal government while maintaining its own local government and laws. This arrangement matters because it allows different areas to cooperate on common concerns like defense and trade while preserving their ability to govern themselves on local issues.

Federated states of various types exist within many of the modern federal states (represented in green).
A federated state (also known as state, province, region, canton, land, governorate, oblast, emirate, or country) is a territorial and constitutional community forming part of a federation. A federated state does not have international sovereignty since powers are divided between the other federated states and the federal government. Unlike international sovereign states, which have what is often referred to as Westphalian sovereignty (such as exercised by their federal government), federated states operate under their domestic or federal law with relation to the rest of the world.
