This is the real reason Neelix left Voy early. He learned about Katie’s ambassador to slave labor scam.

    You know, based on the shows I had always just assumed the federation planets all had one unified government, but upon thinking about it I realized that they never once say that in the shows.

    They say that all the peoples of the planet must be in agreement, I believe. Can’t quite remember, my last re-watch was last year.

    But there would have to be lots of planets with split governments, or at the very least pseudo-governments that are remnants of old factions.

    I could see former earth superpowers trying to somehow subvert others in the decades following first contact.

      Even if the Federation member planets all have unified governments, the United States doesn’t maintain ambassadors to Florida; ambassadors are for foreign relations.
