Non-examples for centralists include countries and systems that do not practice or advocate for the concentration of power in a central authority. Examples of non-centralist systems or countries would be those that embrace federalism or decentralization of power. For instance, countries like the United States, Canada, Germany, and Switzerland have federal systems where power is distributed among different levels of government. These countries promote the idea of shared power and autonomy for regional or local authorities rather than centralizing authority in a single governing body.
