The government structure you are describing is characteristic of a Confederated system. In a confederation, member states retain a high degree of independence and are not obligated to follow the decisions made by the central authority, often leading to challenges in reaching consensus and implementing policies effectively.
A disadvantage of this government structure is that because its member states are not obligated to uphold its decisions, it seems like unanimous consent has to be reached for anything to get done at all.
