A federation (also known as a federal state) is a political entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing states or regions under a central (federal) government.

In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states, as well as the division of power between them and the central government, is typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of either party, the states or the federal political body.

Alternatively, federation is a form of government in which sovereign power is formally divided between a central authority and a number of constituent regions so that each region retains some degree of control over its internal affairs.

A state is a type of polity that is an organized political community living under a single system of government.

States may or may not be sovereign.

For instance, federated states are members of a federal union, and may have only partial sovereignty, but are, nonetheless, states.

Some states are subject to external sovereignty or hegemony, in which ultimate sovereignty lies in another state.

States that are sovereign are known as sovereign states.

E-government (short for electronic government) is the use of electronic communications devices, computers and the Internet to provide public services to citizens and other persons in a country or region.

According to Jeong, 2007 the term consists of the digital interactions between a citizen and his or her government (C2G), between governments and other government agencies (G2G), between government and citizens (G2C), between government and employees (G2E), and between government and businesses/commerces (G2B).

E-government delivery models can be broken down into the following categories: This interaction consists of citizens communicating with all levels of government (city, state/province, national, and international), facilitating citizen involvement in governance using information and communication technology (ICT) (such as computers and websites) and business process re-engineering (BPR).

Local government is a form of public administration which, in a majority of contexts, exists as the lowest tier of administration within a given state.

The term is used to contrast with offices at state level, which are referred to as the central government, national government, or (where appropriate) federal government and also to supranational government which deals with governing institutions between states.

Local governments generally act within powers delegated to them by legislation or directives of the higher level of government.

In federal states, local government generally comprises the third (or sometimes fourth) tier of government, whereas in unitary states, local government usually occupies the second or third tier of government, often with greater powers than higher-level administrative divisions.
