   But what do we mean by "federation"? Before I go further, let me talk about my favourite science fiction: Star Trek!
   
   In the 1960s, Star Trek introduced an interesting idea. It was called the United Federation of Planets (UFoP).
   
   The idea was that a whole lot of planets came together to build an organization greater than themselves.
   
   Humanity got together with other alien species to cooperate. Rather than going to war, we humans created diplomatic ties with Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarians to build something greater than ourselves.
   
   Seeing the power of cooperation, even more alien species joined the United Federation of Planets, pooling resources together, to build prosperity.
   
   This is not so different from the Fediverse. In fact, the fictional UFoP works a lot the Fediverse!
