Various conditions are essential for the success of a federation. 

Some important conditions are discussed below:

Desire for union: The first essential condition for the formation and successful working of a federation is strong desire for unity among the people of the federating units.

Preservation of individuality: The federating units while desiring for union should also be conscious of their individualities and be . committed to preserve these even after becoming part of the federatio

Political maturity and education: Both play an important role behind a successful federation. The system of federation demands an understanding on the part of the people regarding the respective roles of the Central and State governments in the operation of the federal system.

Geographical Contiguity: Geographic contiguity greatly helps the people of a federation to work as a united nation. Geographical distance definitely played a big role in the breaking up of the Pakistani federal system into two sovereign states Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Community of Race, Language, Culture and Religion: A federation characterized by community of race, language, culture and religion alone can work in a strong and healthy manner. These elements can create a sentiment of unity, hold together the people and bind them into one nation.

Approximate Equality of units: The working of a federation also depends upon the size and resources of the federating units. The ideal condition is that as far as possible, there should be approximate equality among them. Wide differences in size, population and resources can prevent the growth of the feeling of equal participation as equal partners of the federation.

Similarity of Social Institution: The federation must be characterized by similar social institutions, only then it can work in harmony. Dissimilar social institutions can hinder the desire for union. These can create great difficulties in the way of working of a federal system.

Economic Development: The factor that influences the federating units to form a federal union is the expectation that the union will be a source of strength and economic development for them. The pooling and coordinating of their resources will result into big economic prosperity and development and is essential for the successful working of a federation.
