Federal monarchy

A federal monarchy, in the strict sense, is a federation of states with a single monarch as overall head of the federation, but retaining different monarchs, or having a non-monarchical system of government, in the various states joined to the federation. In a looser sense, the term can include federal systems where the central and the state governments are headed by the same monarch, such as is the case with Canada and Australia.
