The United Federation of Planets is an interstellar coalition of governing planets and colonies. Its members share the same goals of common freedom, mutual defence, scientific exploration, peaceful coexistence and trade.

Territory
Federation territory, by the 25th century, was reduced to small pockets of space due to the Borg War. Each area of space would contain a few members who all agreed in helping one another in rebuilding and defending each other since the end of the Borg War. In theory the territory of the Federation expands across most of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. However the borders of the Federation are small and are gradually growing at a very slow rate.
Authority
The Federation Council and the Federation Senate are the sole governing bodies of the Federation, who are led by the Federation President. Both governing chambers have representatives from members of the Federation sitting, the key differences being in size. The upper house, the Council, sits a representative from each member; the lower house, the Senate, has a more proportional representation according to population sizes of the Federation member species. The Council and Senate Halls are located in San Francisco, North America, while the Presidential residence is located in Paris, France, both on Earth.
The military branch of the Federation is Starfleet who are charged with the defence and re-exploration of the Federation.
Members
By 2403 after contact had been re-established at least eight member worlds had returned to the Federation with several more becoming allies of the Federation. Anyone wanting to return to the Federation must abide to the United Federation of Planets Charter, however where before the Borg War re-application in to the Federation doesn’t take five years and depends on the agreement of the Federation Council to allow a planet’s entrance. The planet must have a unified world government and be prepared to receive and provide aid in the re-construction efforts.
Starfleet sent several starships out to re-explore what had been lost and to make contact with former member worlds and re-establish the United Federation of Planets in the 25th Century.
Current political situation
Trying very hard to maintain the public image of the Federation of the past, the current version is anything but. Political in-fighting and tensions over the over-crowded and populated Core Worlds and their lack of abundant resources have bogged down the Federation Senate and Council. The Vulcans, once a keystone member of the Federation, have withdrawn their membership and are now waging a war against their former allies. Riots are common place all over Earth, Mars and the various stations and habitats that act as home for the Core Worlds' billions and billions of inhabitants. Starfleet is nearly crippled by its new mandate of Core Worlds defence over galactic exploration, and several subversive factions within the organization itself have become apparent, each with its own agenda and idea of what Starfleet's role in this new Federation should be.
