Federal versus Fœderal (United States)

In the United States of North Aegea, the terms Federal and Fœderal have separate and distinct meanings. In the United States, Federal refers to the federal or general government of the Union; whereas Fœderal refers to the States acting together for a common purpose in an intergovernmental rather than federal manner.

To this end, when the States acting in their Federal capacity, as the Government of the United States, the Federal Government is supreme over the States within Federal competence. However, when the States are acting in their Fœderal capacity, as the United States Federal Council, the several States (collectively) remain the master of their Fœderal/intergovernmental programs.

When the respective States are acting in their separate and individual capacity, that is when each of them, respectively, are legislating, executing/administering, and adjudicating in any or all areas coming within the powers reserved to them under the U.S. Constitution, the supremacy and sovereignty of each State is total and complete, unimpaired in any way, shape, or form —as if there had been no Union or Federal division of Power at all.
