Ch. 3 Focus Questions A unitary system of government is one in which the central government appoints duties to smaller subsidized governments such as countries or provinces. In these governments, the smaller parties will rely on the funds of the central government due to the fact that they cannot tax. An example of a unitary government would be the United Kingdom. A co federal government is one in which the local governments retain power over the whole. One example is the European Union in which each country has control individually. A Federal government has specific duties appointed equally for the national and state governments, an example of which would be the United States.
