A Confederation is a group of independent states, worlds, or systems united for specified purposes, while generally retaining more freedom of action than the members of a federation.

Those purposes often include:

  • Mutual defence against a larger, encroaching state.
  • Establishment of a larger economic sphere (market).
  • Reasons of cultural, ethnic, social, or racial solidarity.

Description / Specifications[edit]

A Confederation is sometimes known as a League or Alliance, especially of princes, nations, states, worlds, or systems.

Confederations are sometimes known as:

  • Accords (Alliance)
  • Adherences (League)
