The Federation	comment	The (mostly) good counterpart to The Empire, generally a democracy and/or presided over by Reasonable Authority Figures, and a superstate composed of many different nations and races, inspired by the structure of the United States or the United Nations. The actual name may vary, but not by much. It is likely to have the words "Federation", "United", "Alliance" or equivalent verbiage somewhere in the official title, as these have positive connotations of voluntary, mutualist cooperation. In most sci-fi settings, the Federation is predominantly human (or composed of humans, Human Aliens and Rubber-Forehead Aliens), usually commands a fleet of Standard Human Spaceships, and is most likely to look the closest to 20 Minutes into the Future when the other factions may be Crystal Spires and Togas, Organic Technology or both. Expect its Capital to be the Shining City and its citizens to wear anything but Spikes of Villainy or Putting on the Reich. Rarely evil, but will sometimes suffer from red tape, and the occasional corrupt politicians and/or generals. When they are evil, The Federation will oppose the independence of its colonies, whether space colonies in orbit, Mars or other planets in the system, or on entirely different systems. Even in this case, the main opposing force may be shown to be Well Intentioned Extremists and/or an example of The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized, willing to hurt innocent people to try to gain their independence, or worse, being used as a front for a truly evil Big Bad. The heroes will usually be either among the good soldiers of the Federation or neutral parties who get caught up in the war; this is especially true in anime. In this case, The Federation will be seen as the lesser of two evils. Occasionally you will get a People's Republic of Tyranny or The Dictatorship. If pitted against The Empire, it's usually in a Cold War-like state, just recovering from a recent war, or a few international incidents away from plunging into one. They often give covert aid (weapons, funds, supplies) to any resistance movements, but won't intervene directly unless they're already at war. In general, it frequently plays an America-like role in the political climate of the setting. If there's a movement to overthrow or undermine it, it's likely The Remnant. A "federation" is a relatively loose conglomeration of states with common goals and purposes, coordinated by a central government that's independent of them all, and from which they have a certain amount of autonomy. The oldest continuous federation and probably the best known example in the real world is the United States of America (its federal government has over the years grown a lot stronger than it originally was but the US still retains a federal character). Another example is Russia: not only is its official name "Russian Federation", but most of the lands with a significant ethnic population, like Chechnya, are highly autonomous regions known as "republics". The Swiss Confederation is also an example. It should be noted, however, that many so-called "federations" in fiction are nothing of the sort. If the group acts much more like a single country than a bunch of mostly autonomous states, it's probably The Republic. Note that a "Confederation" is typically a conglomeration of states that are even more loosely bound than a Federation, the primary difference is that in a Confederation, the federal good is 'never' allowed to outweigh the good of the individual state. Switzerland is a modern example of a successful confederal democracy (today, however, it is a federation that retains the name of a confederation). The United Arab Emirates is an example of a confederation of absolute monarchies.note In practice the two largest emirates, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, have significantly more power than the other five, with their monarchs being the president and prime minister of the confederation, respectively. Some authors consider the European Union to be a confederation, though it is usually seen as a unique, sui generis entity. In fiction, Confederations are typically portrayed as (at best) antagonistic neutrals and at worst, bad guys. This seems to be a holdover from The American Civil War. It should also be pointed out that word "Confederation" as a term predates the term "Federation" and the original meaning of Confederation was basically understood to be the same as the Federation. A good rule of thumb for the difference between the two types of organizations is that in confederations, member-states are allowed to leave through a usually codified process. Compare and contrast The Alliance, usually a more temporary union of nations against a common enemy. Also compare the Fictional United Nations, where the overall governing body is weaker, it may contain both good and evil members, and it is much less unified (no unified military, and not treated as a single state by outsiders).

The Federation / int_10074ca6	comment	The Falcon Cannot Hear: After the Second American Civil War ends with The Alliance of democratic factions defeating the communists and fascists, they forge a new federal government. Due to the large variety of political ideals held by the disparate factions, this "Third Republic" is even more of an example of this trope than the United States was beforehand. In addition to the old states (many of which are run under different kinds of governments than pre-war), there's also the "constituent republics" — Deseret (Utah), Maine (which absorbed most of New England during the war) and New Africa (Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi united under the control of militant blacks) — which report to the federal government, but are much more autonomous than the states. Likewise, there's also the "federal cities" of New York and Guantanamo Bay (where a flourishing city was founded by an American exile community that acted neutrally during most of the war), which have the same status as the republics.

The Federation / int_1641fd92	comment	The Solar Alliance from Sunrider is a federation of one hundred planets and has been the galaxyâ€™s dominant superpower for a hundred years. Like the various Gundam Federations, the Alliance is portrayed as flawed. It is mired in political deadlock and bureaucracy due to its great size. Its politicians are initially unwilling to go to war with PACT despite the threat it poses to the galaxy, while its military leaders like Admiral Grey are willing to do whatever it takes to both start the war on their own terms and win it. While Kayto Shields knows that he needs the Allianceâ€™s military might to drive PACT out of the Neutral Rim and liberate his home planet Cera, heâ€™s wary of their intentions. Despite all this, the Alliance does provide relief efforts to impoverished Neutral Rim planets like Ongess and it respects other planetsâ€™ refusal to join its ranks, unlike PACT (which forces planets to join by nuking their cities from orbit).

The Federation / int_169f043b	comment	The Terran factions in StarCraft usually fit this to one degree or another, although in StarCraft it is a Confederation, which is not nearly so well-intentioned. This is even worse of a misuse then the term 'Federation' tends to be, as a confederation is supposed to have even looser central government, one that wouldn't have the authority to try to retain a region that wanted to leave — though perhaps that was the point all along. It is later succeeded by the Terran Dominion, which for all intents and purposes is effectively an autocracy and much more overt in both name and intentions.

At the beginning of the game, the Confederation's outer rim breaks away and forms several new states, many of which also fit this trope, though others fit a wide variety of governmental forms. Furthermore, the very idea of democracy is starting to lose its legitimacy within the Confederation, and many groups are starting to agitate for military rule instead.

However it also shows the Xindi Council in the third season; an alliance of five different species originated from the same planet that cooperate dispite their internal cultural and physical differences. This are the Primates, the Arboreans, the Acuatics, the Reptilians and the Insectoides.

The Federation / int_22fa3992	comment	The United Nations of The Expanse is a mostly positive version, but with some dark sides as well: On one hand, itâ€™s a democratic federal government ruling over various divisions on Earth as well as the Moon and several outer colonies. It also saved Earth from environmental collapse (the crisis that spurred the UN being given federal powers in the first place), though the planet still suffers from severe ecological damage. On the other hand, a combination of overpopulation, automation, and poor economics means that half the population is unemployed and survives on basic income. While largely benevolent towards the people of Earth and the Moon, the UN has a quite exploitative and abusive relationship with its outer colonies. Thereâ€™s also a large faction of irredentist extremists who want to escalate the Space Cold War with the Martian Congressional Republic into a hot war so that they can â€œre-unite humanityâ€�.

Its armed forces is named G.U.N. and its primary mission is to fight back the Eggman Empire and other enemies to the federation, such as Chaos and the Black Arms. They've previously had conflicts with Sonic and friends, but they're now allies to the main characters. Originally, in Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog the United Federation seemed to be a One World Order (whether it's benevolent or not is never explored; the president at least seems to be a Reasonable Authority Figure). Since Sonic Unleashed it seems more likely that the U.F. is just one of many nations, the Fantasy Counterpart Culture for the The United States, which probably makes it more akin to The Republic.

The Federation / int_247422c7	comment	The People's Republic of Haven in Honor Harrington is a very nasty deconstruction of this trope. Haven starts out as a simple Republic that is referred to as an 'Interstellar Athens' and lived in a perpetual golden age. Then the Havenite government decided to jack up the welfare programs, which in turn causes the economy to collapse. Instead of cutting the welfare programs, the Republic instead decides to turn conquistador, conquering and looting other planets to put money in their treasury. Fast forward a hundred or so years later, Haven rules a vast interstellar empire of over two hundred star systems, and its citizens are divided into the second-class "Dolists" ruled by the first-class "Legislaturalist" hereditary political families. Then, a revolution kicks off, trying to fix the system. Unfortunately the revolution is modeled after the French Revolution, complete with a leader named Rob S. Pierre. Saying that it didn't end well would be a kind of an understatement. Of course, now that the Havenite version of the Thermidorian Reaction has occurred (Thomas Theisman and Eloise Pritchart), and with their version of Napoleon removed ahead of schedule (Esther McQueen), because of Saint-Just ordering her death because of how close her coup came to success), things seem to be on track for the restored Republic of Haven. Aside from the whole resumption of war with Manticore, the cancelled negotiations, then the super-spies Victor Cachat and Anton Zilwicki turning up in Nouveau Paris with proof positive that Manticore and Haven had been manipulated into war with each other by an outside third party with plans for galactic domination. This severely annoys President Pritchart, who turns up in the Manticore System at midnight, sits down with Queen Elizabeth III, and ends up not only putting a permanent end to the war, but sealing a military alliance with Manticore. The bad guys are screwed after that, and the Republic of Haven is once and for all firmly on the side of the light. And now with the War with the Solarian League, we seem to be heading for a retelling of a combination of the Crimean War (Britain & France allied against the Colossus of Russia) and the American Civil War. The Solarian League is an extremely corrupt but non-expansionist version of the Federation, choking under its' own weight and leaving many border worlds to their own devices. The newly created Star Empire of Manticore is something of a Hegemonic Empire, with the Talbott Quadrant voting for annexation by Manticore and retaining their own Prime Minister and parliament separate from those of the Old Star Kingdom. Both member nations subject to the Queen of Manticore and sending representatives to the Imperial Parliament.

The Boron are The Federation, despite technically being a kingdom. They qualify as The Federation on basis of being a neutral/good power, and having a democratically elected leadership (the queen is a figurehead). The Terrans may qualify, but they might also be a subversion. They're democratic according to Word of God, but they have strong xenophobic and paranoid tendencies. X3: Albion Prelude puts the lie to the Argon being good guys when they blow up the Torus Aeternal, a massive space station ringing Earth's equator. They then invade Terran space with a fleet of artificially intelligent warships.

With them are allied several non-human nations, most important of whom are the powerful race of humanoid felines called Wau.

The Federation / int_3d22c14b	comment	The Earth Sphere Federation from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is just a pawn for a tyrannical mastermind, abusing its political power against whoever opposes his reign — and do not forget his right-hand men, the A-LAWS, either. Once the A-Laws and it's masters fall, the Federation becomes much more nicer. By the time of the movie, the Federation is pretty much near Star Trek's level of benevolence. In addition there's The Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations and the Advanced European Union (AEU). Averting the franchise trend, both groups are actually pretty nice, save for their Cold War with each other and the occasional political turmoil with it's members.

The Federation / int_45854dfc	comment	The United Citizen's Federation of Starship Troopers is more of a People's Republic of Tyranny and The Empire than a Federation, being a highly militaristic and quasi-fascistic state seemingly run by a military hierarchy, complete with a Propaganda Machine. Civil rights are surprisingly good though, and racism and sexism seem to be almost entirely absent. Though the military itself is very poorly run, the general population seems to enjoy a reasonably comfortable standard of living. However, free speech is heavily restricted: anyone speaking against the Federation gets hanged. Ordinary murderers are tried, convicted and put to death within a day-on live television (it's also heavily implied that the "murderer" shown is really a political prisoner). You also only become a full citizen with voting rights by earning them through Federal Service - the film and the book follow characters serving in the military as their Federal Service - otherwise you're considered a "civilian". Surprisingly, conscription seems to be unnecessary since people will enlist to gain full citizenship anyway. In fact, this was part of Robert A. Heinlein's vision, since he loathed conscription.

In-game, each world also donates a portion of its taxable wealth to the overall federation, with more money being allocated from planets with larger populations.

The Federation / int_6e0e351	comment	Escape Velocity Nova features a Federation. They're definitely not portrayed the good guys, and they seem to act like more of an Empire than a Federation. They even have their own Rebellion opposing them. The Auroran Empire is a sort of confederation, being a bunch of independent, warring houses that pass around the leadership baton. It's something of an inversion — the Federation is corrupt, and the Empire is honor-driven to a fault. In most of the endings, the player Takes a Third Option and winds up with a stable society after uniting them. If one reads the preambles, and pays attention to what you're told in the storylines, it seems the Federation was a Federation at least, for humans, not Telepathic Spacemen, although one more corrupt and with dirtier secrets than the common example. Then came the Bureau.... Meanwhile, Escape Velocity Override has the United Earth, who is either The Alliance, The Federation, or The Empire, depending mainly upon where you draw the line between Alliance and Federation (for instance the UE does not have a common currency (yet; this is revealed by a news story mentioning the establishment of one as an ongoing and progressing matter of negotiation and preparation), but it does have a common foreign policy and Navy), your perspective on the UE's treatment of her colony worlds (note that the vast majority of humans still live on Earth), and how deeply you are affected by/fear the Voinian Empire.

The Federation / int_7988cb68	comment	The Citadel Council in Mass Effect sits somewhere between The Federation and The Alliance. The council acts mostly like the United Nations Security Council, consisting of the Asari Republic, the Turian Hierarchy, the Salarian Union, and the human Systems Alliance, while the other races have observer status. While each member "country" governs itself, there are common policies regarding interstellar trade, arms treaties, and fundamental legal rights of individuals, as well as a mutual military alliance and currency union. Citadel Space is repeatedly mentioned to have a population of several trillions, and appears to cover about 60 to 80 percent of the known galaxy with independent colonies being clustered in the Terminus Systems. Most of the human species is governed by the Systems Alliance, which is the only recognized representative of humans in Citadel Space, and which appears to be very close to present federations on Earth. Planets mostly govern themselves, but for example the military and all diplomatic relations with other species falls under federal responsibility.

The Federation / int_7de8951a	comment	Traveller's Third Imperium is often described as a "feudal confederation". Due to the sheer size of the interstellar empire most planets are left to govern themselves as long as they pay taxes to fund the noble-run Imperial Bureaucracy and military and obey the "no nukes, no interfering with interstellar trade" laws. The Terran Confederation in the Intersteller Wars volume of Traveller is a strange example. Though the sympathies lie with them, they are an ambitious, expansionist and conquering state. However, on the other hand, once they do conquer places they tend to treat them well. It is not clear whether the Vilani or the Terrans are most to be blamed for the ISW's and a mild tweaking could give the Terrans more palatable justification if it suits the GM. The first Terran expansion was in trade, settling uninhabited colonies, and contact with Vilani dissidents even in canon and conquest came later when the Terrans found how tough they were. But in any case the Terran Confederation is clearly The Federation rather then The Empire despite it's aggressive foreign policy.

There's a World President, a space navy, and a global Law Enforcement and Order commissioner, but individual countries and nationalities still exist; the application of pre-glasnost Soviet-era Russian laws to American citizens becomes a plot point in Pegasus in Flight, as does the Diplomatic Impunity of a Malaysian prince involved in a child sex-slavery ring.

The Federation / int_7f88571c	comment	The Atlantic and Eurasian Federations in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Though part of an alliance of Earth superstates, they're the major influences of that side. Typical for Gundam, both have negative aspects. Though allies, both powers mistrust each other. The Atlantic Federation is prejudiced against Coordinators, influenced by the Blue Cosmos terror group. Meanwhile, the Eurasian Federation is almost entirely opportunist, attempting to steal from or subvert its allies in an attempt to get ahead once ZAFT is out of the picture. The Altantic Federation ends up pulling an Eviler than Thou in both wars, first sacrificing the Eurasians at JOSH-A, then outright attacking them when they try to switch sides with the Destroy. The Earth Alliance (aka OMNI) as a whole qualifies. At the surface, it's just self-interested and ineffectual. The problem is that its military high command is controlled by Coordinator-hating Blue Cosmos adherents, and too many of its industrial and economic leaders are of the War for Fun and Profit variety. It's shown that, while most of the civilian council don't seem outwardly villainous (they'd rather fix Earth's energy crisis than wipe out the other side), they don't have the guts to stop people like Azrael from walking over them.

While its leadership on Earth is mostly accepted as peaceful if heavy-handed, it becomes the target of the protagonists for its military rule over the colonies in space. In a subversion, it's overthrown early in the series, but its legacy holds on throughout. The Earth Sphere Unified Nation from later in Gundam Wing, in contrast, is one of the most benevolent and peaceful examples in the whole Gundam franchise.

The Federation / int_81692f99	comment	The United Federation of Planets in Star Trek is the Trope Codifier. A fairly accurate example of an actual Federation, too. While they have a strong Starfleet which combines Space Navy and Space Police functions, they seem to let member worlds largely manage their own affairs and avoid military opposition to secession. Federation technology has the potential to advance far faster than any other interstellar nation, because it amalgamates the scientific corpus of all its member races. The Federation grants all members the right of secession; the Maquis plotline involves Federation colonists in the Demilitarized Zone between Federation and Cardassian space, many of whom had their planets change hands as part of a peace treaty. These colonists included a group of descendants of American Indians who were in the process of being physically removed from the surrendered planets by the Federation in one episode. Military intervention was immediately canceled, however, when said group renounced their Federation citizenship, and agreed to live peacefully alongside Cardassian colonists. It didn't end well in the sequel series. Several requirements for membership are established by various series: member worlds must be free of caste-based or religious discrimination. This came up for Ardana (a member world later discovered to have a caste-based labor system they never told the Federation about) and Bajor (very tenuous church-state separation; a "false messiah" type almost convinced Bajorans to return to their religiously mandated caste system and withdraw their application for Federation membership). Another requirement for membership is global planetary unity, although there is some leeway on this (one of two nation-states on Kesprytt III applied for membership, but their application was denied because of their Cold War style, paranoid political situation). And because the Federation generally doesn't make diplomatic alliances with pre-warp civilizations or civilizations that don't yet know about alien life, another requirement for membership is probably warp drive, some other faster-than-light capability, or at least, knowledge of other intelligent life in the universe. Several other civilizations that were not Federation members but engaged in trade, diplomacy or joint scientific research with the Federation, like the J'Naii homeworld, or the Klingons, probably would neither have qualified for membership because of gender-based or caste-based discrimination, nor applied for it in the first place. It's also not clear in several episodes whether membership applies to a whole planet, a whole species, the entire civilization, or just the homeworld or primary world of that species or civilization, though most colony worlds that are predominantly human don't seem to be full members and are instead referred to "colonies" in the show. As the Maquis situation in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine showed, those colonies are still under the authority of the Federation, unless they voluntarily secede. The actual depiction of the Federation changed as the franchise went on. In TOS, the Federation was more akin to NATO or the UN, or even the United States under the original Articles of Confederation, with member worlds sometimes on the edge of conflict with each other despite being allied. This is also demonstrated by the Enterprise being often referred to as an "Earth" ship rather than a "Federation" ship, with Spock being the only alien (or half-alien, actually) on a ship with over 400 humans. TNG depicts the Federation more like something between the European Union and the United States under the Constitution, with a more cohesive union while member worlds still mostly handle their own affairs. This is also represented by the presence of more sentient races on each starship, to the point where some Expanded Universe works show that humans aren't necessarily in the majority on each ship (Captain Sisko said his rival, Solok, had an all-Vulcan crew, although Solok was a Fantastic Racist, so this was probably uncommon). This suggests that as time passed between TOS and TNG, interplanetary cooperation and common external threats caused increased authority to be delegated to the central government. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, it is eventually discovered that the Gamma Quadrant has an Evil Counterpart of the Federation in the Dominion; also an interstellar civilization made of multiple planets and races but based on fear and control rather than cooperation, and with both a Police State and Fantastic Caste System under the authoritarian rule of the Founders. Yet, they do seem to give quite a lot of internal autonomy as long they do what the Dominion wants. In Star Trek: Voyager, a federation of sorts is mentioned in the episode "Drive", as four former warring species founded an alliance; although very new and not as tight as the Federation, it does sound very familiar to what is shown in Star Trek: Enterprise on how the first Federation was actually made (also made out of four original members who were warring each other for a time). Also in episode "The Void", with the Voyager trapped in the Space Anomaly of the Week, the Voyager crew has to make a cooperation alliance among other also trapped ships with certain ups and downs, after which Janeway outright mentions that "it felt like being part of the Federation again". Classic Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Corbomite Maneuver" mentions the existence of the "First Federation", which seems to be an alliance of older civilizations that predates the actual United Federation of Planets, but is never shown again, although they do had a recruitment booth shown on Star Trek: Lower Decks and its beverage tranya is mentioned in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, so presumably they do keep trade and diplomatic relationships. Star Trek: Enterprise is a prequel happening before the foundation of the Federation and showing some of the precedents that eventually went into its formation like the Coalition of Planets against the Romulan menace. However it also shows the Xindi Council in the third season; an alliance of five different species originated from the same planet that cooperate dispite their internal cultural and physical differences. This are the Primates, the Arboreans, the Acuatics, the Reptilians and the Insectoides. A sixth race the Avians went extinct during the last war that destroyed the home planet causing the council to exist to avoid such thing happens again.

The Federation / int_8ac4e993	comment	Several in the Gundam series. The Federations are portrayed as flawed at best and The Dictatorship at worst: The Earth Federation in Mobile Suit Gundam. It does not allow citizens in space colonies to vote or have any say in politics (and it was responsible for exiling many of the colonists to space in the first place), leading to many, many independence groups forming. However, it's the "gray" in the series' Black-and-Gray Morality, contrasted against the Nazi-emulating Principality of Zeon. The Federation gets worse in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, with the Titans — a corrupt branch that is just as bad, if not worse, than Zeon and ruthlessly suppresses any opposition, including gassing a whole colony. After the Titans are purged the Federation is less actively malicious, but still corrupt and ineffectual. Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ sees most Federation officials more concerned with currying favour with the Big Bad than stopping her, while they're merely worryingly oblivious in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack (and, in this case, the heroes technically work for them). Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash shows them at their absolute worst since Zeta as the elite have outright turned to slave labor as a means of punishing dissenters. When you actually look at the history, the Federation is going through one long decline throughout the entirety of the Universal Century, so much so, that by Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, it is pretty much irrelevant, and in G-Saviour it has collapsed completely to be replaced by CONSENT (which is the other trope). Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn shows the aforementioned downfall and attempts at reversing as being a long, protracted consequence of the Federation's Start of Darkness: the concealment and manipulation of Laplace's Box (itself containing the original, utopian vision for the Universal Century), all in an effort to maintain power over all humanity. The United Earth Sphere Alliance of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, appropriately enough, evolves from The Alliance to this over several decades before the series begins. While its leadership on Earth is mostly accepted as peaceful if heavy-handed, it becomes the target of the protagonists for its military rule over the colonies in space. In a subversion, it's overthrown early in the series, but its legacy holds on throughout. The Earth Sphere Unified Nation from later in Gundam Wing, in contrast, is one of the most benevolent and peaceful examples in the whole Gundam franchise.

It's shown that, while most of the civilian council don't seem outwardly villainous (they'd rather fix Earth's energy crisis than wipe out the other side), they don't have the guts to stop people like Azrael from walking over them. The Earth Sphere Federation from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is just a pawn for a tyrannical mastermind, abusing its political power against whoever opposes his reign — and do not forget his right-hand men, the A-LAWS, either. Once the A-Laws and it's masters fall, the Federation becomes much more nicer. By the time of the movie, the Federation is pretty much near Star Trek's level of benevolence. In addition there's The Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations and the Advanced European Union (AEU). Averting the franchise trend, both groups are actually pretty nice, save for their Cold War with each other and the occasional political turmoil with it's members. After War Gundam X has the United Nations Earth in the Backstory. It is mostly destroyed in the subsequent Colony Drop seen the prologue, but is subsequently reestablished by the middle of the series as the New United Nations Earth. The Federation from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE follows the Gundam pattern of not being especially benevolent to anyone who opposes them. Also, its decision to cover up a failed Mars colonization attempt rather than rescue the colonists is the reason the war is going on at all.

The Federation / int_9a0c0ffa	comment	The Confederacy of Suns in The History of the Galaxy series, although it's dissolved after nearly a millennium due to internal strife and inherent inequality in planetary rights: only the Core worlds (those originally forming it) have full rights and fleet protection, while the Periphery has to, mostly, fend for itself. After the dissolution, each world is on its own. After a few decades, though, a previously-unknown alien race conducts a sneak attack on one of the Core colonies, cutting off interstellar communication between worlds. After the aliens are defeated, their slave races become full members of the new Confederacy of Suns. In fact, one of the novels after this deals specifically with the inability of the Confederate fleet to reliably protect all of its worlds and the measures being taken to change that. Instead of a Standard Sci-Fi Fleet (which still exists but is relegated to the Core colonies), the Periphery is protected by patroling cruiser-carriers with new type of modular hyperdrive-equipped fighters. The series also deals heavily with the time periods prior to the formation of the Confederacy, namely the First Galactic War, in which the Earth Alliance is attempting to impose its rule on a number of Lost Colonies, who have banded together. After the thirty-year war, Earth is defeated, and the colonies (which are now industrial and scientific powerhouses) form the Confederacy.

The Federation / int_9d34190a	comment	In The Elder Scrolls series, despite the name, the most prominent "Empire" throughout the series is the Cyrodiilic Empire, which has gone through three different iterations and, for the most part, comes closer to this trope (with elements of The Good Kingdom as well). It is generally a benevolent force of good, enforcing rather liberal values (such as religious and racial tolerance) as well as a heavy focus on diplomacy and mercantilism/trade. To note on some of the iterations: The First Cyrodiilic Empire was formed by St. Alessia, the "Slave Queen", following the successful slave revolt of her people, the Nedes (Precursors to most of the modern races of Men in Tamriel), over the vile Ayleids (Wild Elves) who had enslaved and brutally tortured them. (Interestingly, the Ayleids are credited as having founded the very first empire of any kind in Tamriel.) This new empire contained her Nedic people, rebel Ayleid lords, and was closely allied with the Nordic Empire to the north. Compared to the situation under Ayleid rule, her empire was extremely benevolent. However, about a century after her death, the "monkey prophet" Marukh, an Imga from Valenwood, came to power as the leader of the Alessian Order within the empire. The order was an extremist anti-elven religious force and would quickly take over the young empire. For the next 1000 years, the order violently purged any and all records and cultural artifacts of the Ayleids from the empire. Religious infighting and Civil Wars among the cultures within the empire would eventually tear it apart. The Second Cyrodiilic Empire was founded by Reman Cyrodiil I (though he himself would never hold the official title of Emperor). After uniting the disheveled petty kingdoms of Cyrodiil against the threat of Akaviri invaders, his lineage would go on to found the Second Empire. It would come to dominate all of Tamriel except for Morrowind (where the Dunmer [Dark Elf] people were protected by their Physical Gods, the Tribunal) and the Summerset Isles (though he did get them to tangentially join his Empire via terms heavily favorable to the native Altmer [High Elves]). This Empire was again a largely benevolent force that, for the most part, successfully united most of Tamriel. When the last of the Reman line was assassinated, it brought the 1st Era to a close. However, the Akaviri Potentates would rule in a continuation of the Second Empire for the first several centuries of the 2nd Era, until they too would be assassinated. Following the collapse of the Second Empire, Tamriel descended into its own version of the Dark Ages. It would be plagued for 500 years by all manner of threats, ranging from the more mundane (petty kings engaging in fruitless wars) to the supernatural (attempted Daedric takeovers, mystical plagues, etc.) That came to an end when Tiber Septim came to power, first as a general to the Colovian King Cuhlecain, then as emperor himself after Cuhlecain was assassinated. He matched the Second Empire's expanse, got Morrowind to join as a Voluntary Vassal, and then gave special privileges to Morrowind in exchange for the Numidium, a Dwemer-crafted Humongous Mecha which was in the possession of the Dunmer. Using the Numidium, Septim completed his conquests by sacking Alinor, the capital of the long-time rival to the Cyrodiilic Empires, the Aldmeri Dominion, in less than an hour. The Third Cyrodiilic Empire would be ruled by the Septim line for over 400 years, and once again were a generally benevolent force. The Mede Empire, a continuation of the Third Empire most prominently seen in Skyrim, continued to rule following the Third Empire's formal collapse following the Oblivion Crisis. They've lost a significant amount of power and territory, now down to ruling just High Rock, Cyrodiil itself, and Skyrim, the last of which is in the midst of a civil war while attempting to secede from the empire. It plays with the trope in different instances, being largely benevolent and having successfully fended off the reformed Aldmeri Dominion once, but was forced into unfavorable terms as part of an armistice. Even though they don't really seem to bother to enforce some of the unfavorable terms (such as the ban on Talos worship), they are seen as weak cowards by the seceding Nords.

After a second Time Skip, Claude figures out a solution, he manages to get the council to agree to turning the Leicester Alliance into the Leicester Federation, with him as the inaugural king. He notes that the only real difference is that since he's now a king, he can call shots with absolute power, allowing roundtable conferences to be skipped in times of emergency, since losing valuable time to those conferences was a big issue throughout the war up until then.

Even Han Fei-Tzu, one of their most respected supporters from the planet Path, is eventually forced to admit that the Congress is full of evil men who have done and are prepared to do unspeakable things to hold on to power. Despite this, he has supported them because, in accordance with his religion (based on Daoism), the rulers automatically have the "Mandate of Heaven". Thus, their will is the will of the gods. Even when said will is to send a fleet to forcibly evacuate a colony for refusing to turn over two of its citizens for trial, even if there are plenty of people in the Hundred Worlds who think it's unjust to force people to take a 30-year trip to be tried, as it essentially means punishing them before there's even a trial. Also, the fleet is armed with a weapon capable of destroying a planet, and the Congress is fully prepared to use it. Any attempts to reveal the truth of the fleet's real mission are declared treasonous. Anyone suspected of writing "seditious" literature is arrested and tortured for information. Hmm, no free speech, cruel and unusual punishment, heavy corruption. That doesn't sound like it's what a Federation should be like. There's also the fear the colonies have that sending a fleet to one colony that disagrees with the Congress is setting a precedent for the Congress to use the fleet to quell any opposition in the Hundred Worlds.

The Federation / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 plays with this: The Tau Empire, a small but Rising Empire in the galactic east, is run by the only guys in the setting who know the definition of the word diplomacy, let their allies keep their own militaries, and treat the inhabitants of annexed territory fairly well. They're also perfectly willing to use force when asking someone nicely to join the empire fails, keep client states' armies small so they're reliant on Tau support or use their vassals' forces as auxiliaries, and maintain the setting's most centralised government, divided into a caste system rumored to be mind-controlled by the ruling Ethereal class. So depending on how cynical an observer is, the Tau can be seen as either The Republic of 40k, a proper Federation, or an Empire with good publicity. The Imperium, despite being very much The Empire of the setting, paradoxically operates as The Federation out of pragmatism. So long as component worlds pay their tithes of resources and manpower, enforce an acceptable mutation of the Imperial Cult, and hand over any psykers to the Black Ships, the Administratum lets a planet's governor run their world as they see fit. So if you live close to Terra you'll probably be in an Orwellian nightmare, while if you live in the distant realm of Ultramar it will probably seem more like The Federation. Throw in semi-autonomous factions such as Space Marine chapter fiefdoms and the loose empire-within-an-empire of the Adeptus Mechanicus and you've got a complicated political situation.

The Federation / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: Basically all of the major Order factions are this: a state that is in actuality 10-15 pseudo-independent realms that swear loyalty to a nominal higher authority but maintain near-complete autonomy. The High Elves of Ulthuan, Dwarfs of Karaz Ankor, Wood Elves of Athel Loren, and Bretonnians all fit the bill, but the best example is the Empire. Despite the name, this is a more fitting description of the Empire, due to the high degree of autonomy enjoyed by the Elector-Counts and the smaller regions that they control. Being a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of the Holy Roman Empire, it works in much the same way: it consists of a number of semi-autonomous regions each headed by an Elector-Count who swears loyalty to the current Emperor, who they vote into position — each Elector-Count has one vote, the Church of Sigmar has three (one for the Grand Theogenist and one for each Arch-Lector), one for the leader of the Church of Ulric and one for the Elder of the Moot. The Emperor has little to no say in the day-to-day runnings of each province and the populations include halflings, dwarfs and even some elves who live (mostly) comfortably among the human majority.

While it is the de facto strongest power in the system and so far provides the widest and strongest society, it's rife with corruption and abuse, and artificially enforces a scarcity economy in a time and place that has postscarcity technology within easy reach of everybody else. The purpose is to keep the Old Economy alive and well, and while transitioning away might lead to political and economic instabilities, the main purpose it to buoy the unrestricted capitalism that remains the cornerstone of the Consortium's culture, as well as entrenching established powers by focusing wealth and power into relatively few hands. The Autonomist Alliance is something of a conundrum. While much more of a free and open society than the Consortium, being Autonomist, they are more of a patchwork of disparate, heterogenous cultures who have agreed to mutual benefit and defense. Many are strange and oddball cultures, and they won't always mix well.

The Federation / int_d4263e4c	comment	In the Wild Cards series, this trope is played with in the case of the Network. In principle, they are a voluntary association of many worlds and species. However, the whole thing is largely run by and for the Master Traders who founded the Network as an exercise in unrestricted capitalism. Members that are poor and/or low-tech tend to stay that way, since they have nothing to trade in exchange for more advanced technology. In particular the Network places prohibitively high pricing on Faster-Than-Light Travel. Members can lease starships from the Network for ruinous prices (and the ships will self-destruct if they try to take them apart to see how they work). Actually buying the technology would bankrupt all but the wealthiest or most advanced civilizations. This is a major point of contention between the Network and the Takisians, as the latter told to Network to get lost when they discovered a species of Space Whales and genetically-engineered them into Sapient Ships. The lost revenue resulted in many attempts by the Network to regain control over Takis. Jube the Walrus is actually an alien scout inspecting Earth for them.

It's a very gray organization, which is actively colonizing a planet during the events of the game and fighting the alien natives.

The Federation / int_d461a59f	comment	In the original version of Battlestar Galactica, the Twelve Colonies had been united for thousands of yahrens, and the ongoing war with the Cylons had lasted for 1000 years or so when Baltar's betrayal and the naivete of the ruling council led to their defeat. The original federal union of the 12 worlds was governed by a Quorum of the Twelve, and apparently each member of that council represented a tribe, rather than a world, it just so happened that each tribe had its own world. It would probably be easier to maintain the independent nature of the members of a federation if each one had its own separate world.

The Federation / int_d461f757	comment	The Twelve Colonies of Kobol in Battlestar Galactica. Depicted as being rather weaker than most Federations, as its member Colonies are permitted to be as tyrannical (read: Saggitaron) or fanatical (read: Gemenon) as they please. This is likely because the Twelve Colonies united are said to be just over 50 years old, 40 years after the end of the decade long Cylon War. It is quite likely they only came together to face the threat posed by the Cylons, and mention is made of various colonies being dominated for centuries by some of the others in the series. The first episode of the Prequel series, Caprica, seems to confirm this. As a result, the only truly powerful Colonies-wide organization is the Colonial Military, resulting in the occasionally dark undertones as to the influence it had on government and harsh reactions of previous Presidents to civil strife.

The Federation / int_de8ae019	comment	The Terran Confederation of States in the Star Carrier novels is a pretty good example of a federation in the technical sense. Earth's nation-states are still around in various forms, but they all contribute representatives to a world government that grew into the Confederation, and contribute ships and soldiers to the Confederate military. The Confederation Senate is a parliamentary system with no political parties. This seems to be changing in Deep Space, with the Confederation insisting on more and more direct control, especially over member states' Space Navies. This comes to a head when the Confederation attempts to seize an advanced AI belonging to the United States of North America as a "strategic asset" and use illegal weapons in their conflict with the USNA, including a Grey Goo missile to destroy the USNA capital. This causes several other member states to secede and ally with the USNA.

The Federation / int_e04f934e	comment	The Leicester Alliance in Fire Emblem: Three Houses was formed when a group of nobles broke away from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus; after the first and only king of Leicester died, the other nobles decided it would be better not to have a monarch, and the country is instead ruled by a council of the rulers of the five most powerful territories. While there is a nominal Leader of the Alliance, held by House Riegan since the position was instituted, this is more of a First Among Equals station. Leicester is far less centralised than either Faerghus or Adrestia, with each territory being autonomous almost to the point of independence; this makes them ineffective when war breaks out, as the nobles spend the bulk of the time arguing among themselves until Claude unites them. If the Alliance wins the war, it annexes Faerghus and Adrestia. Claude and Byleth, recognizing the need for some degree of centralization, then reform the Alliance into the United Kingdom of FÃ³dlan, with a new monarchy, headed by Byleth, holding the decentralized territories together. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes being a Spin-Off that presents an Alternate Timeline to Three Houses, also has Leicester play a huge role. Noticeably, in the Golden Wildfire route, where Shez sides with them, the lack of centralisation is a huge part of the conflict for the first half of the story. After a second Time Skip, Claude figures out a solution, he manages to get the council to agree to turning the Leicester Alliance into the Leicester Federation, with him as the inaugural king. He notes that the only real difference is that since he's now a king, he can call shots with absolute power, allowing roundtable conferences to be skipped in times of emergency, since losing valuable time to those conferences was a big issue throughout the war up until then.

It's also possible for an interstellar nation to call itself a federation, and depending on their ethos incorporate citizens of several species, adopt democratic governments, or vassalize other nations — any star nation made up of a number of different integrated alien species will start to resemble this. Or recreate the Terran Federation of Starship Troopers. There's also the Precursors, the First League.

The comparison to Star Trek's Federation is naturally brought up, to which Rodney dismissively replies that the Federation had ships. One must point out however that most of the problems that the Atlantis expedition were blamed for were caused by the Ancients, not them. Sheppard went so far as to point this fact out, further stating that he and his team where just trying to clean up the mess that the Ancients blatantly refuse to take responsibility for. The judge does in fact agree with him, but quickly points out that the new Federation has no power over the Ancients, so Sheppard and his team will have to take the fall.

Subverted in that the Federation isn't generally better than the CS, nor is it really very unified at all. The head of the so-called "True" Federation, Alistair Dunscon, is an insane, power-mad Evil Sorcerer driven by a personal vendetta against the Coalition, but not everyone in the Federation supports him or even acknowledges him as their leader. The other major factions in the divided Federation either wish to be left alone and don't seek conflict (Dweomer), or are actually just in it for convenience's sake while they pursue their own agendas (Stormspire). The Phase World/Three Galaxies setting has a straight example in the Consortium of Civilized Worlds. Complete with a Space Cold War against the Transgalactic Empire.

Founded by the United States of America and the People's Republic of China as they fled a polluted, overpopulated Earth, life in the Alliance is great if you live on one of the civilized Central planets... but out on the Border planets and especially the Rim planets (formerly the Independent Planets before they were crushed), standards of living are largely at a Wild West standard while the economy is geared towards resource extraction and colonial exploitation. Even on the Central planets, the government experiments on children to turn them into psychic super-spies and assassins, with River Tam standing as a deeply traumatized example. And God help the people of Miranda... While the main POV characters are admittedly part of a group that lost to the Alliance, we still see some things with our own eyes that would paint the Alliance as "pragmatic and ruthless" at best.

The Federation / int_f74b5f80	comment	From Babylon 5: The Earth Alliance devolves into a Space Nazi Empire under President Clark, complete with the Martian-independence subtrope. It improves after a brief civil war. The Interstellar Alliance is still new, so it's not as powerful as the one in Star Trek. However, it could easily become that and all indicators are that it will. Even has its own fighting force in the form of the Anla'Shok aka the Rangers. Before the existence of the Interstellar Alliance, there was already the Minbari Federation, which is probably true to its name as Minbari society is divided among three self-governing castes of Warrior, Religious and Workers minding their own business separated apart from the basic interaction needed for the greater good of their civilization. Worth noticing that the Minbari were not only founder members of the IA but also hold the headquarters, thus probably they had a lot of influence in their structure. Also before the Alliance there was the League of Non-aligned Worlds, a conglomerate of dozens of under developed planets (at least in comparison with the five main powers the Vorlon Empire, the Mimbari Federation, the Centauri Republic, the Earth Alliance and the Narn Regime (named in order of military power). The name is probably a shout-out of the Real Life Non-Aligned Movement which encompassed most of the Third World. The League joined together first to face the common threat of the Dilgar, they had a good relationship with Earth as the Earth Alliance help them in the Dilgar War and had a collective vote in the Babylon 5 Council (all the aforementioned powers had one vote each). This completely changes with the foundation of the Alliance, the League gets dissolved and all members (alongside all the other races mentioned except the Vorlon) become ISA members with one vote each.

In this movie, Earth is still in the early 80s, so instead of humans, the closely humanoid but more advanced Rylans of planet Rylos are the predominant species we see in the Star League, although it's stated there are other species and member worlds. However, many of the assembled aliens are implied to be from planets that are not formally part of the League. They were recruited for their warrior tendencies from planets that Centauri and the Rylans imply are home to species known for their ferocity, as League member worlds were too enlightened and peaceful to produce effective warriors to serve as Gunstar pilots. Alex's case is unique not because he was recruited from outside the League, but because his planet, Earth, is a primitive world watched over by the League but not yet deemed suitable for contact.
