As the book instantiates Germany (cf green line beneath), I seek other federalist nation-states as examples.
EU: The EU now has a bicameral system, with both the Council and EP having legislative powers (ordinary legislative procedure).
They also have equal powers in the budgetary processes. (A better comparison than Canada would be the German system, with the directly elected Bundestag and the Bundesrat, where the 16 Land governments are represented, with the bigger _Länder having more seats than the smaller ones.)
Canada: Canada does have a bicameral system (inspired by Britian), but the elected House of Commons has more powers than the appointed Senate.
Bills will be considered and passed by the Senate, but only after passage by the House of Commons.
The Canadian provinces do not have a legislative chamber at the federal level (which is rather exceptional for a federal system).
