Blue Star Federation

“Our ideals have held through great strife, an occupation, and 2 major wars. We have not given up who we are, and now we travel into a great new age, one centered around peace, and exploration, instead of war and strife” 
- Fleet Admiral Thomas “Dragonborn” Bane, at the commissioning of the 2nd BSS ConstitutionThe Blue Star Federation (abbreviated as the BSF, and commonly referred to as the Federation) is a metanational interstellar government of multiple planetary states, that operate semi-autonomously under a single central government. The Federation promotes and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and resources, and enforces the universal rights of all sentient life. The Federation encourages cooperation and development in scientific research and mutual defense. However, the Federation is the main provider for defense.
One of the most powerful metanational states in the known space of Omega reality, the Federation spans over 60 light years away from the capitol system of Sol, with the total number of worlds under the membership of the Federation being 83 state nations at its peak in the 23rd century. 
Unlike other nations, the members of the Federation join voluntarily, and are considered equals in the Federation’s democratic government.
The culture, values, and technology of the Federation have a great influence across the known Omega reality, as well as other realities, most notably Beta reality. The Federation has had multiple conflicts and tensions between different ideologies, some of which had evolved into armed conflicts, and in one case, the entire destruction and dissolvement of the Federation for over 25 years.
== History ==
=== Founding ===
Founded on 25 July 2058, during the Sirius Convention. The Federation was created in order to end the unrest and threats of civil war from the colonies of the United Cultures of Earth, the Federation was fully transitioned into power on 7th March, 2060. The Federation was the direct replacement of power of the state government the United Cultures of Earth. The establishment of the Federation also guaranteed the transition of all colonies to independent state nations. By 2062, all of the then current 32 colonies were united as state nations under the Blue Star Federation.
=== Further Expansion and First Contacts ===
In November of 2071, the Federation came into contact with the Saimin, a peaceful society of moth-like bipedal sentient beings that inhabit the planet of Mizu, in the Nuneta System. This first contact event became known as the Saimin Contact. The Saimin, were a pre-warp civilization with whom the Federation made contact entirely by accident. The Federation, while denied to incorporate the Saimin under the Federation, agreed to permanent safe passage and care through their territory. The saimin would later join the federation in 2184.
The Federation began to continue its expansion into the known galaxy, with a massive terraforming campaign that lasted from 2064-2087, which led to more than 30 planets being fully terraformed and habitable for humans and anthros. In March 2098, the Federation came into contact with the Republic of Phoenix, an authoritarian government made up primarily of humans and anthropomorphics. The first contact event between the Republic of Phoenix and the Federation is known as the Palzos Encounter. At the time, the mysterious origins of humanity being in a separate part of the galaxy led to massive speculation, and eventually, the Orange Scare.
=== The Orange Scare and Militarization ===
By 2099, the Orange Scare began to take hold of the Federation. With the public outcry to expand and maintain an even more powerful defense and military to defend themselves of a possibly hostile nation. Under pressure by the then 58 state nations, the Federation began to conduct large design, drafting, and production of weaponry, ships, and materials needed for large scale militarization. Before the 2090s, the Federation was ill equipped to manage full out warfare, as the armed forces were primarily an expeditionary or exploration force. However, the Orange Scare provoked a massive redesign in the ideologies and organization of the armed forces. With exploration being completely halted in 2099 to focus on the defense of the Federation.
The Federation began to its massive militarization project, commissioning companies such as Rayan Technologies, Shasha Corporation, Centauri Ship Building Company, Mitsu Toyo, Stargaze, and Memoria to design and mass produce supplies, weapons, ships, vehicles, and clothing for the Blue Star Federation Armed Forces, and the Blue Star Federation Navy. This rapid change in the Federation caused the democratic government to have more control by the military. 
=== Turn of the 22nd Century ===
With tensions rising greatly between the Federation and the Republic of Phoenix, the militarization greatly improved the ability for the Federation to defend itself, and conduct interstellar warfare. However, this militarization also heightened tensions between the Federation and the Republic of Phoenix, which led to the Republic of Phoenix begin mass production of its military capabilities. These tensions would lead to close calls as stand offs between the Federation and the Republic of Phoenix would occur from 2107 to the eventual outbreak of war.
In 2109, the Federation began a massive draft across the entire territory, causing a massive surge in military numbers, and continued to massively raise tensions between the Federation and the Republic of Phoenix. In 2107, the area around the border of the Federation and the Republic of Phoenix were completely restricted from civilian travel. A DMZ was established, mostly due to the heightened tensions between the RoP and BSF. spanning nearly 50 LY, it covered the entire BSF-RoP border, and was nearly 5 LY across. This DMZ would hold until war broke out in August 2114. 
=== The First Solar War ===
In July 2114, the Republic of Phoenix began to assemble a large naval force, soon to be revealed as Task Force 9, at the border of the Federation, and on 19 August 2114, the Republic of Phoenix attacked and invaded the Rendican System. The Federation declared war 3 hours later. 
The Republic of Phoenix began to initiate Operation Firecracker; a carefully constructed invasion plan that involved the gradual takeover of every state nation one by one. Utilizing the powerful Task Force 9, and Admiral William Trench’s tactical prowess, the Republic of Phoenix began to quickly take multiple state nations under occupation, with troublesome systems that were otherwise too difficult to invade directly, were heavily blockaded and isolated until the eventual surrender of the state nation. By 2117 32 of the 60 state nations were under the occupation of the Republic of Phoenix, with the core worlds, such as the Centauri System, and Sol itself, under the threat of invasion. However, the death of Admiral William Trench during the battle of Kalopis, led to Shakira Pevochik becoming the new admiral in charge of Task Force 9. 
The replacement officer, Admiral Shakira Pevochik, in an act of vengeance and brutality, quickly ordered Task Force 9 to invade the Sol System. The Battle of Sol soon followed. The battle of Sol was the first use of new technologies from the Federation, including the infamous Warp Disruptor, and led to the near destruction of Task Force 9. The Battle of Sol was the first major loss of the Republic of Phoenix. The loss of Task Force 9, as well as the failed attempt to capture Sol, caused a huge surge in morale and power in the hands of the Federation, and began to retake the territories originally under control by the Federation. 
By early 2118, the Federation had retaken and liberated most of the nation-states under the occupation of the Republic of Phoenix, and began to push into the territories of the Republic of Phoenix. With the massive industrial power of the Federation into full gear, the Federation was almost overpowering to the Republic of Phoenix, with what one Republic of Phoenix chairmen described as “2 brand new ships would warp in for every old ship destroyed.”
Throughout 2119, with production and military power under higher power than at the start of the war, the Federation were successfully invading territories under the Republic of Phoenix through the use of vicious and aggressive blockades, under operation Federal Glory. Forcing the isolated territories into surrender. By the end of the year, 14 official territories of the Republic of Phoenix were invaded and under the occupation of the Federation, with the capitol system of Soola only 7 light years away from Federation control space.
In December of 2119 the decisive Battle of Farah began, as the Federation began the massive invasion of the capital of the Republic of Phoenix, the Battle of Farah was the largest, longest, and last battle of the First Solar War. The battle lasted until December of 2121. The massive battle came to a quick end, along with the war, when the Firebird Revolution began, to which revolutionaries, tired of the war and mass poverty in the Republic of Phoenix, revolted and stormed the capitol buildings, forcing President Winter and her high officials outside of Republic of Phoenix territories, and executing any remaining officials on the planet Farah. Shortly after the 15 day revolution, which spread across the Republic of Phoenix territories like wildfire, following the example of Farah. Winter and her associates completely fled from the Republic of Phoenix, operating under a terror group known as Winter’s Loyalists.
With the First Solar War at an abrupt end, and the Republic of Phoenix Government reestablished under President John Lastname, the Federation forced the reestablished Republic of Phoenix to sign the Oberon Treaty, which set the formal document of surrender for the First Solar War..
Peace and Inter-reality Travel
During the 2120s, the Federation and the Republic of Phoenix began to recover and rebuild from the First Solar War, united under Project Stardust. The cooperation between the Federation and the Republic of Phoenix made the recovery and rebuilding from the damages of the First Solar War much faster. And by 2132, both the Federation and the Republic of Phoenix had fully recovered from the First Solar War.
The Federation, having obtained and captured many Republic of Phoenix ships during the war, began reverse engineering projects, dismantling the ships and researching all the technologies of the Republic of Phoenix.
In 2136, the Federation had successfully built the first operational Reality Warp Gate, or ReWaG. The massive device connected the Omegan reality to Beta reality, and exploration and colonization of the mysterious reality began for the Federation. With this advancement in exo-reality travel, the Federation had successfully colonized 7 territories in Beta reality by 2138. The colonies in Beta reality were mainly used for research and resource gathering, as well as establishing a small foothold of the Federation in Beta reality. The Federation in 2150 would have 60 state nations, and 7 colonies.
In 2139, the Federation had come into contact with the Dreamer, and the Dragoni, the two major nations in the Beta reality.
In response to the Federation's advancement in exo-reality travel, the Republic of Phoenix and the Federation signed the Exo Reality Agreement, better known as the ERA Treaty. This made the Federation and the Republic of Phoenix watch over each other, making sure that neither would interact with similar realities, and are tasked to prevent any interactions with these similar realities, however the cost. 
In 2151, The Red Mare Project investigated multiple distress signals coming from a large gravity well. Upon investigating, the gravity well was actually an anomalous rift in spacetime that connected Omega reality to Negative Omega reality, a mirror reality. And so the Battle of Anti Omega occurred. This led to the arrest of Aiyakah Novahich by the Republic of Phoenix, and would result in the Aiyakah V. Republic of Phoenix Trial. While resulting in the pardon of Aiyakah Novahich, he would be demoted to Captain, and not permitted to conduct any missions for 5 years. This would not last as the Second Solar War would soon break out.
=== The Second Solar War ===
On 30 May 2152, the Republic of Phoenix declared war on the Federation, after the Red Mare Project failed Operation Thunderstruck; the attempted assassination of President John Lastname. It would later be discovered that the officer who ordered the attack was an agent for the Pheonix Empire. Immediately after declaring war, the Battle of Earth began, which ended in less than 24 hours with the complete invasion of Earth and the Sol System.
Throughout the war, much of the fighting took place in the core worlds of the Federation, as well as the colonies in Beta reality. The Sol System would remain under the occupancy of the Republic of Phoenix until the Second Battle of Earth in January 2153. During the battle, the Phoenix Empire enacted a secret code, called the Doomsday Order, which activated computer chips that were bought during the late 21st and early 22nd century by civilians as a calming presence during the turmoil of that time period. When the Doomsday code word came down, there was a simultaneous military coup in both the Republic of Phoenix and the Federation. The beginning of the end was upon these two nations, as the Second Solar War ended quickly. When the dust settles the Blue Star Federation and Republic of Phoenix were united under a terrifying new force, the Pheonix Empire. 
=== Dissolution and Rule by the Phoenix Empire ===
With the entirety of the Federation militaries and governments dissolved, with the only exception being the crew of the BSS Constitution remaining intact, the Phoenix Empire ruled with a complete iron fist, utilizing their powerful military and all of their power to subjugate the inhabitants of Omega reality.
On 28 February 2153 in a show of subjugation and military power, the Phoenix Empire began a massive planetary bombardment of Earth, at the command of Shasha Petracov, targeting and completely destroying the cities of Paris, Seattle, and the District of Columbia.
With only pockets of resistance across the subjugated worlds, the Phoenix Empire did not consider glassing these worlds, and instead began to focus on the extreme mistreatment, enslavement, and genocide of anthros. The Phoenix Empire believed that anthros were disgraceful, and impure creatures that had to be eradicated. This horrid mistreatment of any non-human sentients, especially anthros, would create a surge in rebel cells consisting of mostly anthros and other non-human sentients. 
This reign of terror from the Phoenix Empire lasted for more than 25 years. With no obstruction or blockage in its ruling or power in the Omegan reality from 2153 to 2176, where most of the rebel cells fighting against the Phoenix Empire began to unite under one cause: The Omegan Alliance. The Omegan Alliance fought back the Phoenix Empire, lessening its efforts with the death of Aiyakah Novahich in 2176, at the Battle of Hell’s Gate.  
After Aiyakah Novahich’s resurrection in 2180, the Omegan Alliance along with a huge amount of star systems under the oppression of the Phoenix Empire began to further aggression and efforts to rid the Phoenix Empire from the Omega reality, and to reestablish their original governments. In 2181, huge engagements between the Omegan Alliance and the Phoenix Empire began, resulting in the Omegan Civil War. Near the end of 2181 the Phoenix Empire would fall completely into disarray and collapse after the leadership AI of the Phoenix Empire was destroyed.
With the fall of the Phoenix Empire, The Omegan Alliance would chase the remaining Phoenix Empire Operatives into unknown space, scattered across realities and galaxies.,
=== The Omegan Alliance and the Reconstruction ===
With the fall of the Phoenix Empire, the Omegan Alliance reestablished the Federation and its territories. Uniting the Federation and the New Republic of Phoenix under the Omegan Alliance, a now made doctrine that provided unity of the major states of the Omega reality.
With the Federation reestablished, a major reconstruction program began, including the reorganizing of the military and government. One of the notable important changes was the standardization of military weaponry, and full production of the equipment and weaponry were managed by the military itself. 
By 2188 the Federation had reorganized itself and was capable of maintaining its state nations, and were fully autonomous and operable. With completely changed ideologies, the Federation, and its state nations, agreed to avoid war and conflict at all costs, as the peoples of the federation were exhausted from constant conflict and warfare from the 22nd century.
At the turn of the 23rd century, a massive celebration was conducted in hopes of an era of peace, and to a new future; with New Year's day in 2199 met with massive celebrations. This event would be known as the 23rd Centennial.
=== The 23rd Century and First Contacts ===
With the turn of the 23rd century, the Federation were in hopes of a peaceful era, without much conflict, and will be working to stop conflict as much as they could, as well as peacekeeping measures. The Federation began to further expand into unknown space, having more state nations join the Federation. 
In 2208 the Federation came into contact with the Llobans, a system bound nation of insect like creatures. The first contact event, known as the Khar-hal Contact, was set 
In 2217 the Federation came into contact with the Trench, known as the Contact at Regi’s Pass. The Trench kindly declined the offer to join the Federation, and developed into their own nation. Unfortunately, the Trench were having a massive civil war for almost a century, which devastated the entire origin planet. Despite attempts by the Federation to resolve the conflict, the civil war amid the Trench continues.
In 2226, the Federation came into contact with the Hargosi, a warlike nation that was heavily against the Federation’s anti-conflict ideologies. The Hargosi brought tensions with the Federation, as frequently the Hargosi would attack Federation ships outside of official Federation space.
By 2230 the Federation had 83 joined state nations under the Federation, with 8 colonies in Omega reality, and 7 colonies in Beta reality. The Federation, while under tensions with the Hargosi, have managed to maintain peace, preventing a war with the Hargosi.
== Current Status ==
==== Territories ====
The Federation as of 2230 is made up of 83 state nations, 117 uninhabited territories, and 15 colonies. With 218 habitable planets, and 215 star systems as an established territory, the Federation is the largest nation of Omega reality. The Federation has 28 sentient species in its society, and is also considered the most diverse nation in Omega reality.
The Federation territories from the capital of Sol extend approximately 60 light years on the northern plane, 128 light years on the southern plane, 78 light years on the western plane, 110 light years on the eastern plane, 142 light years above, and 93 light years below. In Beta reality, territories extend in a 20 light year spherical radius from the ReWaG Stargate.
==== Government and Politics ====
The Federation is a federal republic of 83 state nations, 15 colonies, and 117 uninhabited territories. It is the principal nation in Omega reality, and the leading nation in democracy.
In the Federation System, citizens are subjected to three levels of government; the federal, the state, and the local government. The local government is usually a specific planet, and its duties are commonly municipal governments. In almost all cases, the executive and legislative officials are elected by a plurality vote by the citizens of the local government.
The government of the Federation is regulated by a system of checks and balances, the origins of this government figure track back to the United States Constitution. The Blue Star Doctrine, much like the United States Constitution, serves as the Federation’s most important legal document. The Blue Star Doctrine is very similar to the United States Constitution, as well as the processes described by the document.
The Federation federal government comprises of three branches:
* The Legislative branch, known as the Federation Legislative Senate, is made up of a bicameral congress, made up of a Senate, and a Congress of Representatives. The Senate makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse, and has the power of impeachment.
* The Executive branch is made up of the President, known as the commander-in-chief of the military, can veto legislative bills before they become law, and appoints the members of the cabinet (subjected to Senate approval), and other officers, who administer and enforce federal laws and policies.
* The Judicial branch is made up of the Federation Judicial Committee and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the president with Senate approval, interpret laws and overturn those that are found to be unconstitutional.
The Senate is composed of 98 voting members, each representing their colony or state nation for a five-year term. Each state nation or colony draws a single member to represent the state nation or colony. However, colony representatives are not allowed to vote. A voting member is called a Senator. The Congressional of Representatives are determined in number by the population of the state nations or colonies. There are 728 Representatives in the Congressional of Representatives.
The president serves a 5-year term, and may be elected to the office no more than twice. The president is not elected by direct vote, but by an indirect senator approval system in which the determining votes are apportioned to the Federation.
The Federation Judicial Committee is made up of 11 members, and serve for the entirety of their lives, or until they are unable to serve.
==== Political Divisions ====
The 83 state nations are the principal political divisions of the Federation. Each state nation holds jurisdiction over a defined interstellar territory, where it shares sovereignty with the Federation. A state nation is usually subdivided into smaller local governments, as planets. The state nations choose the president of the Federation, under the Senate. Colonies and territories cannot vote for the president.
Citizenship is granted at birth in all state nations, territories, and colonies.
==== Parties and Elections ====
The Federation operated under a two party system until its dissolution in 2151. The Federation, upon its reestablishment in 2181, became a 3 party system. For elective offices at most levels, state nations administered primary elections choose the major party nominees for subsequent general elections. The major parties have been the Centauri Workers Party, which evolved from the Democratic Party in 2079, and the Sol Conservative Party, which evolved from the Republican Party in 2046. The newest major party, known as the Blue Party, was founded in 2183. 
In Federation political culture, the center-right Sol Conservative Party is considered "conservative", the center-left Centauri Workers Party is considered "Liberal", and the far-left Blue Party is considered “Socialist”. 
Blue Party Maria Robinson, the winner of the 2226 presidential election, is serving as 17th President of the Federation, her vice president is Mitchel Trikoffski. Leadership in the Federation Legislative Senate includes Senate Leader Patrick Wellington, and Senate Speaker Cynthia Baker. Leadership in the Congress of Representatives includes Representative Leader Valino Reksemita, and Speaker of the House Jeffrey Levon.
In the 58th Federation Legislative Senate, the Congress of Representatives and the Federation Legislative Senate are heavily controlled by the Blue Party. The Senate consists of 14 Sol Conservative Party members, 23 Centauri Workers Party members , and 53 Blue Party members, with 8 Independents who side with the Blue Party, with Vice President Trikoffski, a. The Congress of Representatives consists of 167 Sol Conservative Party members, 194 Centauri Workers Party members, and 367 Blue Party members. 
==== Foreign Relations ====
The Federation has a highly established foreign relations both on a galactic and interreality scale. The Federation is a permanent member of the Omegan Alliance. Most nations have embassies in almost all Federation established state nations. All nations except for the Hargosi maintain and host diplomatic missions between the Federation
The Federation has a tight bond with the New Republic of Phoenix, and several close ties with the Llobans, and Trench, including the Beta reality nation of Dreamer. The Federation maintains a massive military and security alliance with its neighbor the New Republic of Phoenix
The Federation holds and exercises interstellar defense and authority in the southern regions of known space of Omega reality, as well as its territories in Beta reality.
==== Government Finance ====
Taxation in the Federation is progressive, and is enforced at the federal and state level. This includes taxes on income, payroll, property, sales, imports, estates, and gifts, as well as various other fees. Taxation in the Federation is based on residency.
In 2229, taxes collected by the federal and state governments totaled to about 22.12% of gross domestic product. The effective tax rate for the wealthiest 10,000 households was 34%, with a 23% tax rate for the bottom half of Federation citizens.
In 2226, the Federation spent a total of 214 trillion ₡ on budget and cash basis. Much of the spending was directed to medical and relief (25%), Social Security (21%), Defense Department (18%), non-defense discretionary (17%), other mandatory (14%), and interest (5%).
The Federation holds a large summarized external debt of 789 trillion ₡ 
==== Military ====
The Federation’s Armed Forces are under the command and control of the President of the Federation, who is Commander in Chief. The Commander in Chief is above the Secretary of Defense, who presides over the Council of the Joint Chiefs. This council is made up of 3 members, each corresponding to a branch of the Federation Military. Each of these chiefs holds a 4 star rank within their corresponding branch, and are chosen every election cycle, or if another of the Joint Chiefs retires or is fired. 
Headquartered on Earth, in the Sol System, the Blue Star Federation Armed Forces comprises 3 military service branches, which are the Army, Navy, and Marines. The Military Headquarters are Berlin, on Earth, the Sol System, which is where the Joint Chiefs meet, along with where much of the higher ups in the individual branches are based out of. Berlin also has a concentration of military bases, and Star Base 001 is in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit above the city of Berlin. 
Each of the individual branches has its military academy in a different city on Earth, Sol. The Army is in Berlin, the Navy is in Paris, the Red Mare Project is in the District of Columbia, and the Marines are in Athens. Military service in the Federation is voluntary, however, a general draft may occur during wartime. In modern day, the military of the Federation can be rapidly deployed by the Navy’s large fleet. The Navy can also conduct large scale or precision strikes against targets. The Federation military operates 3,720 bases and facilities in its territories, and maintains more than 500,000 active duty personnel in 5 foreign nations.
In 2229, the Federation spent a total of 521 trillion ₡,  roughly 42% of military spending in Omega reality. At 5.2% of gross domestic product, the rate is the second highest among all the nations. The Federation military plays a massive role in science and technological investment, with roughly 40% of Federation research and development funded by the Federation military. However, the Federation military’s share of the Federation economy has grown since 2220. The Federation has the second largest combined armed forces in Omega reality, behind the New Republic of Phoenix.
The Federation is recognized as one of the 2 superpowers in the known reality of Omega reality, with an estimated 5 billion personnel in the military (4 billion in the Army, 500 million in the navy, 400 million in the Marines, and 100 million in the Red Mare Project.)
==== Law Enforcement and Crime ====
Law enforcement in the Federation is primarily the responsibility of the state nations under the Federation, with the Federation intelligence and military provided for broader services. 
The Federation Security Bureau have important and specific duties, including protecting civil rights, national security, and enforcing the law. There are around 750,000 Federation police agencies and facilities in the Federation territory, this does not include state nation held facilities. The courts of the state nations conduct most criminal trials while the Federal courts handle certain designated crimes as well as certain appeals from the state criminal courts. 
In a study in 2230, the homicide rate for the Federation was the second highest rate than most nations. Gun homicide rate was also 4 times higher than any other nation. In the Federation, murder rate was at a rate of 8.6 per 200,000.
The Federation has the highest documented incarceration rate and largest prison population in Omega reality. The Federation Security Bureau states that the imprisonment rate for all prisoners sentenced to more than one year in federal or state nation facilities stood at 552 per 150,000 residents, with a prison population of 1.95 billion, in 2230. According to the Federation Security Bureau, the majority of inmates held in federal prisons are convicted murderers and national offenders. 
To combat pirating and national offenders, a bounty system for bounty hunters has been officially endorsed by the Federation. 
The Federation only conducts capital punishment at a federal level, for the worst of felons, usually for domestic or foreign terrorists and pirates. In 2230 alone 230 prisoners were executed.
=== Economy ===
The Federation holds a gross domestic product of around 1.6 quadrillion ₡, which rounds to around 45% of the gross world product at market exchange rates, and 32% of the gross world product at purchasing power parity. As of 2230, the Federation has a national debt of an estimated 194 trillion ₡. 
The Federation is the second-largest importer and the largest exporter of goods, despite the export per capita being somewhat low. The total Federation trade deficit in 2230 was 179 trillion ₡. The New Republic of Phoenix and the Dreamers are the top trading partners.
Since the reestablishment of the Federation in 2181. The average annual gross domestic product growth has risen from 2.4%, to 3.5%. The Federation remains as the leading economic superpower in gross domestic product per capita, and second in gross domestic product per capita at purchasing power parity. The Federation Credit (₡) is the primary currency of Omega reality, and is a reserve currency.
In a study in 2228, the private sector was calculated to contribute to 69.8% of the economy. The Federation remains as an industrial superpower despite being under post-industrial development. In another study in 2229, the Federation labor force was estimated to be around 109 trillion. With 256 trillion, the public sector is the leading area of employment in the Federation. The largest private employment sector is mining, engineering, and healthcare with 66.1 trillion. The Federation is a welfare state, redistributing income to those living under poverty or in need of financial, welfare, and medical assistance.
The Federation is the only advanced economic state that guarantees workers paid vacation, and is one of the few nations that have paid family leave as a legalized right. Around 7% of full time citizens do not get paid sick leave, according to a study in 2225, and 18% of part time workers do not receive equal benefits.
The Federation uses the Federation Credit. With the symbols of the full credit ₡, and the partial credit (in 100th) as ȼ. The standard abbreviation of the Federation Credit is FEC.
==== Science and Technology ====
In the 22nd century, the Federation was the leading nation in technology and scientific research in Omega reality. Since its reestablishment in 2181, the Federation is now the second leading nation in technological innovation, and the lead nation in scientific research and development. Much of the innovations developed by humans on Earth in the 20th and 21st century have been extremely notable, such as the assembly line, the phone, and machine industry. This followup and improvement of older techniques and technologies allowed for large scale production and manufacturing of a variety of subjects, such as in the First Solar War, where massive amounts of ships, vehicles, equipment, and gear, were mass produced in operation Federal Glory. In the 23rd century, approximately 50% of research and development funding comes from the private sector. The Federation is the leading nation in scientific archiving and research.
The Federation is well known for their shipbuilding and production lines, utilizing massive space stations on an assembly line formation. Ships are built in massive sections, allowing for quick seals in case of breach, as well as easy, quick, and sturdy use of interchangeable parts for a vessel. 
The Federation’s primary method of interstellar travel is a Warp Drive, powered by a central reactor powered by a Matter/Antimatter reaction. This reactor generates the power required to charge the Warp Coils in the Nacelles, which generate a bubble of warped spacetime around the ship, allowing it to travel at superluminal speeds without experiencing Time Dilation, or acceleration. The concept is, that the local time flow of the ship is the same, since in local space around the ship nothing is moving, but the bubble is moving through space, thus the ship is not actually moving at speeds greater than C. 
During the First Solar War, many top scientists, physicists, and researchers were recruited under the Bamahas Project to develop the Warp Disruptor. The Bahamas Project would eventually lead to the development of ReWaG, and would lead the Federation to connect with Beta reality.
The development of Holographic handheld devices in the 2090s was a massive step for the Federation, and is a key component of modern technologies and devices. The reestablishment of the Federation allowed for diversity in companies to form, replacing the older companies such as Shasha Corporation in the Federation. These companies, such as StarScape, Mable Tech, Advanced Holographic Intelligence (AHI), Beacon Systems, Radio Wave, and Holographica. The Federation is the leading nation in communications and internet speeds.
The famous ReWaG Station, or Reality Warp Gate Station, is a massive space station created under Project Windigo. The massive space station was almost 2 kilometers in size, and was a near constant connection between the realities of Omega reality and Beta reality. Much of the technology used in the ReWaG is classified by the Federation. In 2230 alone, more than 200,000 ships traveled through the gate on both sides.
==== Income, Wealth, and Poverty ====
The Federation holds 35% of the known population. The Federation has hold of around 39% of the wealth of Omega reality, The largest of any other nation. The Federation is also the lead nation for the number of highly wealthy individuals, with around 7 million trillionaires, and 3 billion billionaires. The average citizen holds almost 5 million credits worth of wealth. On a 100 rating, the Federation is rated on the average of 67.2/100 in food security.
Wealth in the Federation, such as income and taxes, are highly concentrated. With the richest 10% of the adult population possessing 60% of the Federation’s household wealth
Unfortunately, Income inequality remains at high levels, with the top ten earners taking more than half of all overall income. The rise in share of total annual income received by the top 2 percent, has affected income inequality significantly, while the bottom half of the population possesses only 5%. The Federation is the second placing nation with a large percentage of low-income workers than any other developed nation. 
There are around 57 billion sheltered and homeless and unsheltered homeless citizens in the Federation, with 78% staying in emergency shelters or housing programs. With an estimated 17% of the population living under poverty, with an estimated 5% of the population in deep poverty.
==== Transportation ====
