Cooperation is very important in a confederation to keep the central government running smoothly. The states are independent but there are some common aspects between them determined by the central power. Cooperation helps the independent states find unification within their confederation and accomplish goals easier for the best results that benefit all of the independent states.

Confederations are similar to group work where someone stands out as a leader, but all people have a say and work together to complete the task at hand. The leader does a bit of 'overseeing' but doesn't have the power to control things that are unrelated to the project.

They make up the laws, common share of currency,  and common defense laws.They have limited powers which means they can't tell anyone to do something if it has nothing to do with the government.

A great example of a confederacy is the European Union:it is a union of 28 sovereign  states in continental Europe that keep their separate identities but give specified powers to a central authority.  It operates common economic policies with common laws, which enable a single economic market, open internal borders, a common currency among most member-states. These states also share a common flag.
