Can administrative entities legally leave your nation? If so, how: There is no automatism for this.
Can foreign nations, or parts of them, legally join your nation? If so, how: Yes, by referendum in all states including the one that wishes to join - a 75% majority is necessary.
4. Conclusion
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sovereign are the different regions of your nation?: 8
(1 = total centralism; 10 = they're actually sovereign nation-states)
What is your nation's citizens' general opinion on the status quo? Do they wish more centralism, more regional sovereignty, or are they satisfied with it? Most people are satisfied with the federal system, since it does have its point - though, of course, some might point out it's expensive and somewhat bureaucratic.
What is the reason for the status quo? (historical reasons, ethnicities etc.): The Federation was formed by its states, which have been sovereign countries before. They all have different histories and an extremely different ethnic makeup.
