	Federation - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states is constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of the central government.
		While it is common for a federation to be brought into being by agreement between a number of formally independent states, in a unitary state self-governing regions are often created through a process of devolution, where a formerly centralised state agrees to grant autonomy to a region that was previously entirely subordinate.
		A federal upper house may be based on a special scheme of apportionment, as is the case in the senates of the United States and Australia, where each state is represented by an equal number of senators irrespective of the size of its population.

	Federation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A federation (Latin: foedus, covenant) is a union comprising a number of partially self-governing states or regions united by a central ("federal") government.
		In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states is typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of the central government.
		Federations often employ the paradox of being a union of states, while still being states (or having aspects of statehood) in themselves.

	Hobson, Imperialism, A Study, Part II, Chapter VI: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Though imperial federation for British purposes is no modern invention, Lord Carnarvon was the first Colonial Secretary to set it before him as a distinct object of attainment, favouring federation in the various groups of colonies as the first step in a process which should federate the Empire.
		The process of federation, as bearing on the relations of the federating colonies, is of course a triumph for the centripetal forces; but, by securing a larger measure of theoretical and practical independence for the federal Governments, it has been centrifugal from the standpoint of the Imperial Government.
		A chief avowed object of imperial federation is to secure from the colonies a fair share of men, ships, and money for imperial defence, and for those expansive exploits which in their initiation almost always rank as measures of defence.

		Were the Federation to withdraw from an area of space, it would only be to marshal their forces for a counterattack to drive out the temporary occupying forces.
		To the pragmatists, he promised a moratorium on attempts to invade Federation territory and firm control over the Imperial Fleet, increased efforts to improve domestic infrastructure and the quality of life of nonwarrior strata of society, and a greater emphasis on diplomatic contacts and commercial relations with the Federation and other galactic powers.
		The Federation was initially quite puzzled when Klingon foreign policy suddenly shifted in 2247 from the ruthless pursuit of imperialist expansion to intermittent, grudging, and ill-tempered diplomatic engagement.

	Comparisons and Conclusions
		Federal and state governments continued to grow slowly until World War I in response to the growth of private economic institutions.

		Despite the web of federal and state laws which regulate much of what happens in schools, local taxes pay about half of the bill for elementary and secondary schools and all school personnel are hired locally.

	Essay - Federation
		One of the manifestations of this sentiment was an aggressive imperialism that envisaged Australia as 'the seat of a mighty [Australian] empire under the banner of the Anglo-Saxon race'.
		The paper advocated that a Federal Constitution be drawn up by 'a Convention elected directly by the People of all the States' and then be 'submitted to the people by means of a referendum' (Tocsin, 9 October 1897, p.
		Some of the major tenets of Federation were: white Australia; industry protection; civilised wage and arbitration system; state paternalism, and imperial benevolence (Cain, 1996), and the first three of these were advocated by Labor.

		More common by far were advocates of imperialism as an alternative to redistributive socialist policies, as an outlet for surplus population (Britain was widely regarded as being overpopulated), and as a backyard for flagship companies.
		The fact that self-described socialists and lassez-faire dogmatics alike, in 1902, regarded "imperialism" as a means to their rival ends, shows that this was not merely a right-left debate, and Hobson attacks the idea of solving the problems of capitalist societies by making war on other nations.
		The effects of imperialism on the rest of the human race are spelled out with precision and clarity, as is his nuanced analysis of why it is doomed to fail.

	Imperial Federation
		Imperial federation means that Canada must join Britain in her wars throughout the world, and must weigh the interest of the whole Empire before looking to her own.
		The Imperial Federation has only to grapple with the initial difficulty to be overthrown, which is this: the native-born Australian wants at maturity a country of his own to live for, fight for, and, if necessary, to die for; the native-born Canadian wants the same.
		But, as in the case of the Imperial Federation League, so the United Empire Trade League should be able to satisfy itself, before asking a conference only to be refused, that there is no possibility of obtaining the cooperation of any English-speaking community.

	Star Wars vs Star Trek Technology: Ground Combat Conclusions
		A battle would probably go to an Imperial army on the strength of their armoured vehicles and war droids, since they would undoubtedly counteract artillery stand-off tactics by rapidly closing the distance until the range disparity is nullified, and their superior armour and firepower can come into play.
		Federation ground forces are completely one dimensional, with no concept whatsoever of combined arms tactics; if you present an opponent which is not easily attacked by men on foot with small arms fire, then they have no recourse but to call for air support.
		This oversight means that Federation ground troops are incapable of employing combined-arms tactics, and it seems to be a direct result of the fact that Starfleet is apparently the entire Federation military.

		Revised the Federation shielding page to note that the gravitational attraction at the sun's surface is only a few dozen g's, so "gravity" can't be used as an excuse for the short-duration survival of Federation starships near stars.

	Albion's Seedlings: WW0@1892 Book Review: G. Parkin’s Imperial Federation
		Branches of the Imperial Federation League spread throughout the Empire, with a large branch forming in 1887 in Toronto in response to an American initiative for Commercial Union between the US and Canada.
		And it was seen that the federation (on the horizon) of the larger self-governing colonies would be the logical trigger for discussions of an imperial federation.
		Imperial federation is held out as simply one more level of federation, entirely feasible and achievable within the traditions of Great Britain, once the various colonies have reached their national federative state.
