Non-federations

[edit]

Some countries exhibit characteristics of a federation, but are not. For example, Spain has a relationship resembling that of a federation with its autonomous communities; however, they are created by and exist at the suffrance of the central government, rather than being distinct entities that have chosen to join together.

In this case, you've have to add Belgium to this list too... -195.144.90.50, Dec 2003

UAE

[edit]

Under "Long form titles", the UAE is listed under "None" when it is pretty clear that it is a long form title. It is similar to Mexico, listed under "Others" - United Mexican States as compared with United Arab Emirates - Mexico, like Arabia, is the geographical location, while States, like Emirates, is the political subentity. I've edited the page

In addition, according to the first clause of Article 1 of the Malaysian constitution, it states (roughly translated), "The Federation shall be known, in Malay and in English, by the name Malaysia." It doesn't state "Federation of Malaysia" or "Persekutuan Malaysia". But since the article Malaysia uses "Persekutuan Malaysia", I'll shall keep it that way. --Rajan R 06:58, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Belgium

[edit]

Belgium is listed as a unitary state but it refers to itself as a federation. This should be corrected

As far as I can gather it seems to be a federation so I've moved it to that list. But if anyone knows better please shout. Iota 00:04, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)


-Belgium used to be a unitary state, but they made a change-over to federacy in the last decades :)

Is it normal the internal controversy and conflict section hasn't had a single citation added to it in 3 years?

[edit]

I've noticed that internal controversy and conflict section hasn't gotten a single citation addded in 3 years. Is it normal in wikipedia for certain sections to be missing citations for multiple years? I'm new to wikipedia and I don't understand why sometimes one can find areas that don't have any citations at all. TorielPadme (talk) 12:59, 31 March 2026 (UTC)[]

It generally means that no-one has come along with the knowledge to provide sources. Any editor can notice the lack of sources, but because they don’t have the background can’t add sources. So they tag it, in hopes that some one with the necessary knowledge will notice it and provide sources. Unsourced material can be removed by any editor, if no sources are ever provided.
