    They aren't a part of the Federation at any point in any Star Trek timeline. There are individual Klingons that are either born in Federation territory, or are outcast from the Klingon Empire for dishonorable acts, who join Starfleet, but the Klingons as a race are not part of the Federation.

     

    The closest they get is a permanent alliance made in the 27th century, and effectively all ships for both the UFP and the Klingon Empire become jointly crewed Alliance ships.

    I thought an alliance was a de facto joinance (I don't know how to say it)
    It's late know, I'll look it up another time

    No, they don't have credits, except in Star Trek Online... Because an MMO with no currency is boring.

     

    Technically speaking, Starfleet isn't a military per-se... More of a scientific and police armada. Think of them as AAA, the Red Cross, NASA and local police, all rolled into one.

     

    Nobody anywhere has to pay for a meal (except on certain planets that have "issues") in the UFP. Replicators make that an obsolete concept in its entirety.

     

    That holodeck thing is in place because you have to make reservations when you have a ship with over 1000 people on board, and only 16 holodecks. Planetside it's not as much of an issue, and most homes have their own holodecks. (or a few communal ones for apartments)

    Another point is the klingons, they are part of the federation but still have noble hirearchies and priests and stuff

    Those estimates are for taking every part of the planet back to background radiation levels only... We don't even have that now, and we've never had a nuclear war. Most scientific estimates that are worth a damn, and have realistic expectations, say that there will be significant areas of the planet left habitable, and restoring ~90% of affected landmass is likely in under 500 years. (this is partly based on real life radiation cleanup results, like with Chernobyl)

    Isn't that partly because they had where to bring clean soil to bury the radioactive soil under? in a full scale nuclear war where would they bring the clean soil from? (chernobyl still clicks like crazy on a geiger counter)

    how would u know tho, maybe the future is fine and dandy, maybe all it took was a nuclear war or two, i mean if that's what it took, i wouldn't mind

     

    i'd gladly BE in the future, after the nuclear warfare has gone through xD

    i think i truly am unlucky, cuz i dont exist in the future, where everything is fine, i only get to live in the past, where everything is kinda crappy

    that depends on the scale of the nuclear war, I think most science says that a full blown war will leave the planet surface uninhabitable for 1000s if not 100,000s of years.

    If it would be just a show of force and then everyone settles down, might leave the world viable for a few more years (like US nukes the iranian nuclear research facilty, russia nukes some US asset

    Also  in response, India nukes some desert in pakistan/afganistan, Pakistan nukes some Indian backwater in response, Japan nukes backwater north korea, china nukes the cat island in response and then everybody settles down to peace talks after they demonstrated they are willing to use their arsenal). (not that i think this will be a good thing, just an example of a less severe scenario).
    But we all know that the moment they will be used once they will be used again, so full blown war is still happening.
    I refuse to believe that what they say about roaches is true, radiation would also kill their babies like it would kill my sperm.

    Technically speaking, that is the economic system being used in Star Trek for the UFP... They are a post-scarcity society, and have no use for capitalist methods.

    Yes, but it's not communism, it's a type of socialistic democracy. You can voice opinions that aren't favorable to the government and other stuff.

    Also don't they have credits? (or am i confusing with some other show?) I mean the show doesn't focus on that as much since the enterprise is military and the military is usually completely bankrolled by the government. So a technician or a red shirt doesn't have to pay for his meal or clothes it's all "military issued". (plus I think I remember they have allowances for use of the holodeck, but it's been a while since I watched TNG or DS9)
