Leaders from several states of a nation meet once a year to settle common issues. They govern their own states independently, but they work together on issues that affect them all like trade and defense. They do not have a central government that handles these matters or collects taxes. Rather, each member state agrees to this yearly meeting and to follow agreements made there. Yet nothing forces them to keep these agreements other than an interest in maintaining friendly ties with the other members. What type of government arrangement does this nation have?

A. Confederation

You are correct. The government arrangement described in the question is a federation. In a federation, power is shared between the central government and the individual member states. Each member state has its own government and retains a degree of autonomy, while also working together with other states on common issues. The central government typically handles matters that affect the entire nation, such as defense or foreign relations. In this case, the leaders from the member states meet annually to settle common issues, indicating a cooperative and decentralized approach to governance.
