Learn English – What’s a word or phrase for something government-level or state-level

expressionssingle-word-requestssynonyms

An example could be "the state-level banning of narcotics" to indicate that the government banned it.

What's a word or phrase to emphasise that something is national, and not local? I hope I'm getting across what I mean clearly enough.

EDIT:

I should have clarified that I'm looking for a word that is applicable anywhere, in any country.

Best Answer

I believe the generic term applicable to any country is national:

: of or relating to an entire nation or country

: owned and controlled or operated by a national government
