A unitary government system is a political structure where a single central authority holds the majority of power, with any administrative divisions (like provinces or regions) deriving their authority from this central government. In this system, local governments may exist but have limited autonomy and are primarily responsible for implementing policies set by the central government. This contrasts with federal systems, where power is constitutionally divided between national and regional governments. Examples of unitary systems include the United Kingdom and France.
