As of [[December]] [[2380]], there were 154 member [[nation-state|state]]s of the [[United Federation of Planets]], and Federation [[space]] spanned over 10,000 [[light year]]s. ({{n|ST|Articles of the Federation}})
:''See also [[Federation colonies]].''
__NOTOC__


=Articles of The Federation=
==Founding member states==
The United Federation of Planets was founded in [[2161]] by the governments of [[United Earth]], the [[Confederacy of Vulcan]], the [[Andorian Empire]], the [[United Planets of Tellar]], and the [[Alpha Centauri Concordium]], all of which were previously members of the [[Coalition of Planets]]. ({{e|TNG|The Outcast}}; {{e|ENT|Zero Hour}}; {{n|ST|Articles of the Federation}}; {{n|ENT|{{nd|Kobayashi Maru}}}}; {{r|ST|Star Fleet Technical Manual}})


WE THE INTELLIGENT LIFE-FORMS OF THE UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS DETERMINED
:''The novel ''[[Starfleet: Year One]]'', published before ''Enterprise'' [[canon]]ically confirmed the founding members of the Federation, gave eight founding [[world]]s; [[Earth]], {{planet|Vulcan}}, [[Andor]] and [[Tellar]] remained, [[Alpha Centauri]] was omitted and [[Osadj]], [[Dedderai]], [[Vobilin]] and, last to agree to join, [[Rigel IV]], were added. While these extra worlds could still be early members of the Federation, the majority of sources, and canon, now rule them out as founding members.''
: To save succeeding generations from the scourge of intra-galactic war which has brought untold horror and suffering to our planetary social systems, and
: To reaffirm faith in the fundamental intelligent life-form rights, in the dignity and worth of intelligent life-form persons, to the equal rights of male and female and of planetary social systems large and small, and
: To establish conditions under which justice and mutual respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of interplanetary law can be maintained, and
: To promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,


AND TO THESE ENDS
:''Similarly, the reference book ''[[Spaceflight Chronology]]'' lists Rigel as a founding member in addition to the five listed above. In addition, in that source Alpha Centauri is a system with an indigenous (though closely related to [[Human]]) population, not an Earth [[colony]].''
: To practice benevolent tolerance and live in peace with one another as good neighbors, and
: To unite our strength to maintain intra-galactic peace and security, and
: To ensure by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods that armed force shall not be used except in the common defense, and
: To employ intra-galactic machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all intelligent life-forms,


HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS.
==Members==
{{compactTOC}}


Accordingly, the respective social systems, through representatives assembled on the planet [[Babel]], who have exhibited their full powers to be in good and due form, have agreed to these '''Articles of Federation of the United Federation of Planets''', and do hereby establish an interplanetary organization to be known as the United Federation of Planets.

: C) To further interplanetary peace and security;
: D) To promote constructive measures of development, to encourage research, and to cooperate with one another and, when and where appropriate, with specialized interplanetary bodies with a view to the practical achievement of the social, economic, and scientific purposes set forth in this article; and

: C) To encourage respect for intelligent life-form rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to culture, sex, language, or religion, and to encourage recognition of the interdependence of the intelligent life-forms of the galaxy; and

The Great Seal of the United Federation of Planets.

As of December 2380, there were 154 member states of the United Federation of Planets, and Federation space spanned over 10,000 light years. (Template:N)

See also Federation colonies.


Founding member states

The United Federation of Planets was founded in 2161 by the governments of United Earth, the Confederacy of Vulcan, the Andorian Empire, the United Planets of Tellar, and the Alpha Centauri Concordium, all of which were previously members of the Coalition of Planets. (Template:E; Template:E; Template:N; Template:N; Template:R)

The novel Starfleet: Year One, published before Enterprise canonically confirmed the founding members of the Federation, gave eight founding worlds; Earth, Template:Planet, Andor and Tellar remained, Alpha Centauri was omitted and Osadj, Dedderai, Vobilin and, last to agree to join, Rigel IV, were added. While these extra worlds could still be early members of the Federation, the majority of sources, and canon, now rule them out as founding members.
Similarly, the reference book Spaceflight Chronology lists Rigel as a founding member in addition to the five listed above. In addition, in that source Alpha Centauri is a system with an indigenous (though closely related to Human) population, not an Earth colony.
