I would like to point out a small problem with the Warp chart from the NG and Encyclopedia. They both list "Across the Federation" as being 10,000 LY, however the Local Sphere (which includes Cardassian, Romulan, and Klingon space) in only approximately 1,500 LY in diameter. At least according to Star Trek Star Charts.
I think that number is a bit high. Maybe Federation space is 10,000 LY^3, but its a much shorter distance from planet A to planet B. I usually knock that down to 1000 LY from side to side but YMMV.

Maybe 'across the Federation' equals a circuit visiting each individual member world... : P
