A quick definition of unitary state:

A unitary state is a type of government where there is one central authority that makes decisions for the whole country. This means that there are no smaller states or regions that have their own separate governments. The central authority has the power to make laws and rules that apply to everyone in the country. This is different from a federal state, where there are smaller states or regions that have their own governments and also share power with the central government.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A unitary state is a political system in which the central government has all the power and authority over the entire country. It is not made up of smaller states or territories that have their own independent powers.

Examples: Examples of unitary states include France, Japan, and the United Kingdom. In these countries, the central government has the power to make decisions and laws that affect the entire country. For example, the French government can make decisions about education, healthcare, and transportation that apply to all French citizens, regardless of where they live in the country.

Explanation: In a unitary state, the central government has the ultimate authority and can make decisions that apply to the entire country. This means that there is no separate level of government that has independent powers. The examples illustrate this by showing how the central government in France, Japan, and the United Kingdom has the power to make decisions that affect all citizens in the country, regardless of where they live.
