What do you call a government formed by two or more political parties when one party fails to have enough seats?
This question doesn't really belong in the US-related sections; since the US uses a presidential rather than a parliamentary system, parties don't "form a government." In a parliamentary system like the one in the UK, when two parties cooperate it's known as a coalition government.

The government of Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic while the United States is a presidential federal republic. In parliamentary republics the executive branch is directly accountable to the legislative branch and derives its legitimacy from it.

It can be, but not necessarily. A unitary state is simply one where the power is centralized in one place and contrasts with a federation in which power is divided among states/regions and a central government.

A parliamentary form of government simply means that the executive branch/ministers/cabinet are part of the legislative body. Both unitary and federal states can have parliaments. For example, India is a federation with a parliamentary system where as the UK is a unitary state with a parliamentary system.
