Country classification:

In the political sense, countries can be divided into monarchy, constitutional monarchy, republic, democracy or autocracy.

In the political and economic sense, countries can be divided into liberal countries or socialist countries, interventionist countries and protectionist countries.

In the sense of public law, countries can be divided into Etat unitaire (centralization or decentralization) and Etat fédéral (there is also the so-called national confederation, which is not a country, but a national alliance, and each country retains its sovereign power).

The basic feature of a unitary state is that the central government monopolizes all constitutional powers, especially legislative power and judicial power. In this sense, in fact, the unitary state is centralized. A unified country can be centralized or decentralized.

A federal state means that the central government and local governments share constitutional power, and the ways and degrees of sharing are not exactly the same in different countries.
