Several federations have become centralized, as there is no universal practice in this regard. United States America and Australia have started enjoying centralized practices due to modern media technology and the pressure of globalization.

The federal system is not a magic stick to settle all sorts of conflict, corruption and other bad aspects of democratic system.
