== Federation Cohesion ==
Cohesion {{icon|cohesion}} is a measure of how unified a federation is and ranges from {{green|+100}} to {{red|-100}}. It has the following effects:
* Each 10 points of Cohesion above '''0''' adds {{green|+1}} XP per month to a federation, up to {{green|+10}} at {{green|+100}} Cohesion {{icon|cohesion}}.
* Each 10 points of Cohesion below '''0''' adds {{red|-1}} XP per month to a federation, up to {{red|-10}} at {{red|-100}} Cohesion {{icon|cohesion}}.
* Each 4 points of Cohesion above '''0''' adds {{green|+1}} Acceptance for changing federation laws.
* Each 4 points of Cohesion below '''0''' adds {{red|-1}} Acceptance for changing federation laws.
* Cohesion below {{green|90}} reduces the Acceptance for increasing the Centralization Law by {{red|-50}}.

The following incur '''immediate''' Cohesion {{icon|cohesion}} changes:
* {{red|-100}} whenever a member joins or leaves the federation, including when an empire {{iconify|integrate}}s a subject that's also a member.
* {{red|-50}} whenever the federation type changes
* {{red|-10}} whenever the federation Centralization Law changes
* {{red|-5}} whenever any other federation law changes
* {{red|-10}} whenever a failed vote occurs

The following incur '''monthly''' Cohesion {{icon|cohesion}} changes:
* {{green|+1}} for each envoy assigned to the federation
* {{red|-0.25}} for each member of the federation
* {{red|-0.15}} multiplied by the number of different ethics, minus 3 (''moderate and fanatic ethics of the same type will count as different ethics'')
* {{red|-0.5}} for each opposed ethics (''Two opposing fanatics, or any combination with only a single fanatic will only count for one set of opposed ethics. Normal and fanatic on one side, and fanatic or normal and fanatic on the other will count for two.'')

If a federation loses the experience required for a level and fails to raise it above the required limit within 90 days, the federation level will downgrade and remove all perks from the previously held level. Each level requires the following amount of experience:
{|class = "wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
! Level
| 2 || 3 || 4 || 5
|-
! Total XP 
| 1200 || 3600 || 8400 || 18000
|-
! XP from previous level
| 1200 || 2400 || 4800 || 9600
|}
A federation's experience is capped at 18000, meaning that at level 5 any negative Cohesion will downgrade the federation level.
