We do have a federal system, while Australia calls the federated units states we call them 'nations' but basically its the same thing except the nations have more power than any Australia (or US) state. The identity of nation/state is far stronger as well (probably too strong for a stable country which the UK of course is not)
Different words often, interestingly, mean different things.
