Yeah, that is how I used the term as in "the central or 'federal' government."

Are you trying to say states are so control by the federal gov't, the states aren't federal anymore?

I don't know what you mean and it doesn't make sense to me. Not the part where the federal gov't has more control. The part where you think the state government isn't federal anymore.
