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') 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.
