Terminian federalism is a system found across Sahar where the delegation of a region within a country to the federal government is also the body overseeing that same region.

In such a system, representatives chosen regionally, typically through either numerous electoral districts or proportional representation at the federative entity level, comprise their regional legislatures and, simultaneously, are members of the national/federal legislative body. This typically results in a very large number of representatives at the national legislative; the Terminian lower house has 2582 seats for instance.

This results in a form of logistical delegation of power, as representatives are logically able to attend much more often to the local meetings than they are to the national assembly, thus presenting an inherent degree of lawmaking independence to the federative unit. Particularly noticeable, for example, in the late days of the Balak Empire's administration, this effect has been dilluted by modern telecommunications to an extent. An additional logistical innovation of Balak-derived variants of the system in particular is the ability for debates on the national level to be held in the regional legislatures, with votes being sent back to and counted in the national legislature's primary meeting place, allowing more frequent legislative actions.
