Are there any other succesful confederate states? (except Russia, of course)

In Europe: Confederation Helvetique (CH).

Except giants such as China (which could/should be, except it's a confederation between communism and capitalism for now) or USA (IIRC, around 2060 it is estimated the white people will become minority, as less than 50% of total population)?

Not only Yugoslavia, but also Czechoslovakia didn't survive on the long run. So far, only the Belgians have the last confederate state "viable", so to say... and they're tormenting as well! Are there any other succesful confederate states? (except Russia, of course)

Russia is a federation.

Fortunately, it didn't happened!

Similarly, a possible joint kingdom was (I don't know how seriously) pondered between the two countries for a short while in the early 1920s. Gen. Dénes
