- India: Federal system with powers divided between Union and States.
- Sri Lanka: Has a unitary government, not federal.
- USA: One of the oldest federal systems in the world.
- Belgium: Federal system with power-sharing between communities and regions.

Step 3: Conclusion
Sri Lanka does not have a federal government.
