Confederation =)
confederation
A loose association of states is called a confederation. This system involves independent states coming together for common purposes while retaining their sovereignty and independence. Each member state in a confederation typically retains a significant degree of autonomy and authority.
A loose association of independent states that agree to cooperate on specified matters.
I think it's a Confederation.. at least that's what someone else said. :)
The German Confederation, established in 1815, was made up of 39 German states and was headed by Austria. This loose association aimed to coordinate the economic and political interests of the member states but ultimately lacked strong central authority. The Confederation was dissolved in 1866 following the Austro-Prussian War, leading to the formation of the North German Confederation.
The term for a loose association rather than a firm union of states is "confederation." In a confederation, member states retain significant independence and sovereignty while cooperating on certain issues, often through a central governing body with limited powers. This contrasts with a federation, where states are more tightly bound under a central authority.
Confederation referred to the group of colonies (which became states) banding together in order to more strongly represent their shared interests, especially with regard to dealing with the British.
There was not a confederation of states, like the United Nations.The confederation of states formed the USA.
Nine of the thirteen states had to approve the Article of Confederation.
