New United Federation of Planets

The New United Federation of Planets (New UFP) is an interstellar alliance of semi-sovereign planetary governments working together in cooperation for common defense, trade, and diplomacy.
== Formation ==
As the Terran Imperium took over what was formerly the old United Federation of Planets in 2414 decent spread across several worlds. Bajor, still sore from the Cardassian occupation immediately declared independence from the Terran Imperium. 
The conflict with both the Terra Alpha Alliance and the Narlin Empire kept Emperor Tiberius Kirk and later Empress Julie Lei from addressing the "Bajoran Problem". Because of this many former Federation officers and civilians fled to the Bajoran system.
On July 31, 2415 Betazoid and several smaller colonies seceded from the Terran Imperium. Over a dozen starships defected to Bajor under the command of Admiral William Riker. With his wife Dianna Troi-Riker they convinced the Bajoran ministers with the help of Kai Kira Nerys to accept Betazoid into a new alliance, which would eventually be named the New United Federation of Planets. 
The New UFP charter and constitution are near identical copies of the old UFP's. There were slight changes including the limiting of Section 31 and placing the agency directly under the purview of the Federation Council and the president. 
On May 8, 2416 the New UFP constitution was ratified by the six founding worlds, Bajor, Betazoid, Kobliad, Setlik, Surak III. Former Federation Council member Michelle Ortiz was elected President pro tem until the general election of 2017 which she won in a landslide.
