federated
Bound by compact
Federated describes things joined together under a central authority while retaining some independence.
Federated states unite for common purposes but keep local governance.
In computing, federated systems allow separate networks or databases to work together without merging: a federated search queries multiple sources at once.
The structure emphasizes cooperation over consolidation.
