The United Federation of Planets (also known as "The Federation" or UFP) is a fictional interplanetary federal republic depicted in the Star Trek television series and motion pictures. In those episodes and films, the Federation is described as an interstellar federal polity with, as of the year 2373, more than 150 member planets and thousands of colonies spread across 8,000 light years of the Milky Way Galaxy, and taking the form of a liberal democracy and constitutional republic. The Federation also maintains its own military and exploratory agency, known as Starfleet. The United Federation of Planets and Starfleet are the primary focus of all the Star Trek series, with the exception of Star Trek: Enterprise, which is set before the Federation comes into existence.

The legislature of the Federation Council is located in San Francisco. Several other bodies of the Federation have been depicted. There is an executive branch
