A federal republic is a State which is both a Federation and a Republic . A federation is a state composed of a number of self-governing regions (often themselves referred to as 'states' or 'regions') united by a central, federal government. In a federation, unlike in a Unitary State , the self-governing status of autonomous regions is constitutionally entrenched and cannot be revoked by an unilateral decision of the central government. Usage of the term ''republic'' is inconsistent but, as a minimum, it means a state that does not have a Monarch as Head Of State . Three states explicitly describe themselves as federal republics. These are the Federal Republic Of Germany , the Federal Republic Of Nigeria , and the Federal Democratic Republic Of Ethiopia . A close variant is the term ''federative republic'', which appears in the full official title of Brazil . Not every federation is a republic; for example Canada , Australia , and Malaysia are each governed under a form of federal Constitutional Monarchy .
