A disadvantage of this government is that while it represents all member states well, it often acts very slow.

The description you provided aligns most closely with a Confederated government. In a confederation, member states retain significant independence and sovereignty, which can lead to slower decision-making processes as all states must agree on actions or policies. This can result in challenges when quick and unified responses are needed. In contrast, unitary systems have a more centralized decision-making process, federal systems balance power between central and regional authorities, and authoritarian systems concentrate power in a single leader or party, often leading to faster decision-making but at the cost of representation and individual freedoms.
