Not much is known about the Federation, other than they've forced alot of planets under their rule in the past decade before the turtles arrived and have been the mortal enemies of the Triceraton Republic and territory is just as big as Triceraton Republic and that the human alien populations are of the same proportions. but they did not have ceremonial voting rights or citizenship unless you served in the military. Because of the war with the Triceraton republic and other threats, the civilian one gradually became military one. The civilian one became rubber stamp government and it lasted 175 years.
