Federated state

Territorial and constitutional community forming part of a federal union

A federated state 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, federated states operate under their domestic or federal law with relation to the rest of the world.
