==Description==
United Earth is a planetary state created through the unification of the nations of Earth following first contact with the Vulcans. With its capital based in Paris, the United Earth government administers the entire Sol system.
The horrors of the Third World War and the subsequent prosperity provided by the Vulcans has shaped Human society to value peaceful coexistence and the exploration of the unknown.

=== The United Federation of Planets ===
When playing as United Earth you can bring the canon Federation founding nations together to form the United Federation of Planets.

To form the Federation you must form an Alliance with at least 2 nations from the following list:

* United Earth
* Vulcan High Command -or- Confederacy of Surak
* Andorian Empire
* United Planets of Tellar

After at least 15 game years have passed, provided that the Alliance is not at war and the Xindi or Terra Prime event chains are not in progress, the option to form the United Federation of Planets will be presented.

If the Alliance contains any other nations, these will also be offered the choice to join the newly founded Federation as Member Worlds, but may refuse.

''Member Worlds are a special subject type who retain ownership of the planets in their home system but cede all other owned starbases, systems, planets, and fleets to the UFP. Member Worlds pay taxes to the UFP in the form of Crew and do not participate independently in galactic diplomacy.''

After the Federation has been founded, you can incorporate other nations as Member Worlds via the Federation Accession process.

Your subjects and all nations that are in an Alliance or have Association Status with the Federation are Accession candidates.

To view a list of Federation Accession candidates, go to the Institutions menu (via the Edicts menu) and open the Federation Council. Select the option to view accession candidates and select a candidate to be begin the process.

Your selected candidate will be offered membership but may refuse. This decision is influenced by the following factors:

TODO: EXPLAIN INITIAL DECISION

Accession will take several years, or decades depending on the size of the target nation, but can be accelerated via the following:

* Assign an Envoy to Improve Relations
* Choose the Shared Destiny Ascension Perk
* Increase Accession Focus via the Federation Council Institution

When the nation is ready to join as a Member World you will receive a notification and can complete the Accession Process through the Federation Council Institution.
