The Great Seal of the United Federation of Planets

In 2373, the United Federation of Planets consisted of at least 150 member planets, spread over 8,000 light years. (Star Trek: First Contact)

Presumably the admission policy of the Federation regards governments and/or planets, and not whole species. In practice, a planet had to be unified under one joint government until it can apply for Federation-membership. However, there were potential exceptions, such as the Kes.

Founding members

The Founding Ceremony

The United Federation of Planets was founded in 2161 by the following members:

According to several background sources, including Star Fleet Technical Manual, Star Trek: Star Charts, "It's Federation Day!", a newspaper article created as background material for Star Trek Generations and the novel Articles of the Federation, the independent Alpha Centauri colony was the fifth original founding member of the Federation.

Protectorates

Cuzar

Evora Homeworld
Homeworld of the Evora. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
According to a deleted scene from the end of "Insurrection", Ba'ku was also to become a protectorate.
Haven was said to have a treaty with the Federation which required Starfleet to protect it, and thus may have been an official protectorate.

Colonies

See Federation colonies.

The exact status of Federation colonies has never been clearly established. While due to the large amount of colonies it seems unlikely that they have full member status, it would be plausible to assume that they enjoy a status not unlike to that of Federation protectorates.

Proposed members

These following were in the process of gaining Federation member status as of the year indicated.

Angosia III (2366)

Background information

In TOS: "Journey to Babel", set in 2268, the ambassadors of Federation planets attended the Babel Conference, at that time there were 32 ambassadors, suggesting there were at least 32 planets in the Federation at that time.

According to a dossier on the home page of Star Trek, in the alternate reality, the Federation had 120 member planets and 700 colonies in the 2250s. [3]

According to Star Trek: Star Charts (United Federation of Planets IV), in 2378, there were 183 members and 7,128 affiliates. The area of the Federation was 8,000 cubic light years. At the last census, in 2370, there were 985 billion individuals living in the Federation.

Aleek-Om was identified as a "Federation historian" in the Star Trek Concordance, possibly based on the script, suggesting Aurelia might be a member. Bilana III was also identified as a member in the Star Trek Encyclopedia and Star Trek: Star Charts.
