Confederate an association of sovereign member states.
Generally, there are three forms of nation-states, when speaking of how power and sovereignty are allocated.
Unitary forms of government assume that all sovereignty resides in the central government of the nation, and that this central government then may give or retract some powers to regional or local governments, solely at the discretion of the central government. France has such a government, and about two-thirds of all current governments in the world are considered unitary.
Federation or federal governments assume that the nation is composed of sovereign regions, each of which has agreed to give up some measure of sovereignty to the central government. That is, while the member regions maintain sovereignty over certain matters, by mutual agreement, the central government retains ultimate power in other areas. The United State of America is a federation, with about one-third of the world's governments also being considered a federation.
Confederation or confederate governments are a looser association of sovereign regions than a federation. While the central government in a confederation is generally assigned certain powers (usually through a treaty signed by all members), the member regions retain ultimate sovereignty. Thus, it requires the (usually unanimous) permission of the member regions for a central government to take action. Member regions have a much larger say in the actions of a confederation's central government than under a federation. Switzerland is one of the few remaining confederate governments in the world today.
A key difference between a federation and a confederation is choice in membership. Once a region has joined a federation, it no longer has the choice to leave - it gives up that type of sovereignty when joining. In a confederation, continued membership is purely voluntary - a member region can leave at any time, legally.
