“The problem we’re having today is, so many things are being decided from Washington, D.C., and that naturally makes us hate each other, because half of us are going to be mad at any given time, roughly,” [Mark] Meckler said. “And so, if you go back to federalism, I think we can keep the country together.”
“We take off a lot of the heat, cool a lot of the pressure, out of the system by just saying New York’s New York, California’s California, and the conservative states are whatever they want to be,” he explained. “Federalism is a combined and compound mode of government that combines a general government with regional governments in a single political system, dividing the powers between the two.” Wikipedia

Austria also has got such a system: The power is divided between the "Bund", i. e. the federation ("Republik Österreich") of the so-called "Bundesländer", the federal lands, e. g. Salzburg, The Tyrol, etc. Vienna is both a city and a Bundesland.
