Why isn't India listed as a unitary state? While it may be a Union of states , the "Central" gevernment has much authority over the states, it appoints the governors, can split, merge or eradicate the states and change their status at will. Note the automatic inclusion of the princely states into the Union at Independence. Was this a foregone conclusion or a fait accompli? --68.80.223.233 22:12, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Spain is just like the United Kingdom, a unitary state but with self-government areas (decentralised country with anasymmetric federalism). This article should not be centered on the English speaking countries only.Spain has 17 Autonomous areas plus 2 autonomous cities located in North Africa, it actsde facto as a Federal State, called in SpanishEstado de las Autonomías.Contrary to Spain and UK, there are other unitary states with more centralised powers, likeFrance.178.109.153.131 (talk)
