    Okay he's a map poll just to test it out and get an idea what people think.

    ...sniff, sniff....

    Is that dogma I just read?
    "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

    I guess it all comes down to Picard's line in First Contact.

    '...spread over 8000 light years...'

    And how we interpret this.

    For all we know it could be a line between the 2 most distant Federation worlds. Or it could be the 'square' or even 'cubed' area of Federation space.

    But after Dan Stack's Galactic Cartography thread, I'm inclined to go with the small but with colonial territories theme. Just that the Federation has a somewhat continous core area of some 100-200 ly diametre.

    Hmmm well from the poll its seems fairly even so far.

    Perhaps a few more replies for a better share of the polling community?
