Okay goons, so I herd you like Trekkies? Here's a framework, start hanging stuff off it. If I'm the only one who has Ideas about this I shall be very cross indeed.
The United Federation of Planets (abbreviated UFP, also known informally as the Trekkies) is the largest and best-established of the Fen factions, encompassing roughly ? the systemwide population and {n}% of the Convention’s annual GDP. Founded in 2008 as an amalgamation of worldwide Star Trek fan clubs, the Federation established the first permanent settlement on Mars, the first permanent installation in another solar system and the first orbital spacecraft construction facility in Fenspace.
History
[size=larger]Politics[/size]
The Federation is a representative republic, with an elected president as both head of state and head of government. The presidential election is held every four years and a president may serve unlimited terms. Administrative and legislative power is held in the Federation Council, which is composed of every member world or state. Individual Councilors are elected or appointed according to their constituencies’ desires, though as of 2022 this generally involves direct election.
{blah blah political parties in the Fed: The Blue party favors pacific expansion, the Orange party favors stronger integration with the Free Mars movement, the Green party favors stronger defense, the Purple party tries to walk the line between Blue and Green. In 2022 the Greens are on an upswing, with Purple and Orange forming the loyal opposition.}
The Federation Council meets in the Palais de la Concorde in Utopia Planitia.

Relations with other factions
As the 800 pound gorilla of Fenspace, most other factions treat the Federation with a certain amount of respect. But only a certain amount; most fen when asked will consider the average Trekkie aloof, self-righteous and a little nosy. This attitude frequently causes friction between the Federation and the other top-tier factions, particularly the more freewheeling Galactic Republic and the Coalition of Independent Moons.
Future plans
[size=larger]Administrative divisions[/size]
The Federation is - on paper - divided into multiple member states, each one representing the concerns of Federation citizens to the Council. As of 2022 there are 9 member states: Venus, Terra, Luna, Utopia, Jupiter, Pandora, Chiron, Vulcan and the Sozvezdie Soviet. Due to the highly diffuse nature of Fenspace only Utopia, the Soviet and the extrasolar colonies have any distinct legislative authority or autonomy. Outside of these areas, the majority of Federation citizens live in the larger non-aligned communities or aboard one of the numerous Starfleet vessels.

[size=larger]Demographics[/size]
The Federation’s population estimate in 2022 was 2,752,191. The largest city in the Federation was Utopia Planitia, with a total population of 200,000.
Language
The United Federation of Planets has no official language. The majority of the original settlers and most recent migrants speak English natively, and most government documents are written in English. Recent migration (and continued recruitment) from Francophone Africa has added French as a major language, and bilingual education is now available in most Federation enclaves. The conlanguages Klingon and Vulcan are also widely spoken, particularly in the exosolar colonies.

{oh god I don’t know what to put here I AM VERY BAD AT THIS}
Religion
Officially, the Federation practices state atheism. Religious belief and practice is not officially prohibited due to Federation membership in the Convention, but it is mildly discouraged with a bit of a patronizing attitude. The official state position on religion doesn’t seem to have had much effect, however. In a 2020 survey only 14% of Federation citizens professed as atheist, though another 30% consider themselves generally non-religious. The rest of the population tend to follow the same beliefs they did on Earth: Christianity and Islam make up the majority, followed by Buddhism, Judaism and Vodun. Several attempts to codify Klingon religion have been attempted, but so far none have been successful.
