Honestly the federation is really more of a confederation: There's no centralized authority, just a set of common rules everyone agrees to abide by (the protocol), and relationships between members are still bilateral (and voluntary)
@brunodias I was once told by someone that they used "federation" even when "confederation" was more correct because they didn't want people to confuse it with the (Civil War era) Confederacy. Racists ruin everything, I guess?
