Centralization

I would argue that almost all nation states have a centralized government. To say that Canada and the United States are prime examples of centralization is valid, however South Korea and Japan have a prominent centralized government as well. Any developed countries or nation-states I would reason have some sort of centralized government, albeit in our Western society we tend to focus more on Canada and the United States. The idea of centralization in todays society tends to lean towards a possibility of economic success, and the developed countries are examples of this "success" by centralization.
