Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina spans 26,110 square kilometers, containing ten autonomous cantons with separate governments and legislatures across the territory.

The Washington Agreement established the Federation on March 18, 1994, during the Bosnian War, creating one of two main entities within Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Federation maintains a population of 2.24 million residents, with Bosniaks comprising 70.4 percent and Croats 22.4 percent of the demographic composition.

The Federation operates through a bicameral Parliament system, with the House of Representatives and House of Peoples managing legislation and regional governance.

Each of the ten cantons within the Federation holds constitutional authority to establish its own government, parliament, and judicial systems independently.
