A federal form of government share powers between central government and state/regional government. For example India has a three tier federal system of government i.e central or union government, State government and local bodies at Panchayat and Municipality level.
In a unitary system, all powers are held by a single central government. Unitary systems are often found in smaller countries. For example, Sri Lanka has Unitary government.
