Colonial governments had their own governors who operated with a great degree of independence from the home country's government.  They also elected their own legislative assemblies and made their own laws.  They could assess and collect their own taxes for purposes they decided upon within the colony itself.

If we take the American colonies as a primary example, the British home government for many years practiced a policy that Edmund Burke later would call "salutary neglect."  "Salutary neglect" meant that the British government "neglected" or took a mostly hands-off approach to the colonies, because that was "salutary" or beneficial to the success and profitability of the colonies.  Eventually, however, in the mid-18th century, the British government began trying to assert greater governmental control over the colonies, including matters of taxation.  This especially happened after the French and Indian War, in an effort to deal with war debt that the British government had incurred. The attempts by the British imperial government to exercise stronger control over the colonies eventually led to the Revolutionary War.

Mumz [18]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The concept of European nationalism was still in its infancy during the eighteenth century. What the Hapsburg monarchs had done to foster a common national sentiment among the people of the Austrian empire was to create a unity sentiment in the different territories to foster a kind of bond between them and the Austrian monarchy.

The Hapsburg empire constantly grew, as we know the kingdom developed through the years. The monarchy developed effective central administrative states buck what lacked was the sense of identity of the many territories that belonged to the kingdom. That lack of "common bond" did not allow the Hapsburg kings to instill the common culture and traditions in the majority of towns of the kingdom.
