United Citizen Federation - Definition and Overview

The United Citizen Federation is the government from the movie Starship Troopers. It was mostly based on the Terran Federation from the novel, which is more like the Roman Republic. Some believe that it is based on Nazi Germany due to the wearing of pseudo nazi uniforms.

In order to vote in the UCF (and its novel counterpart), someone has to provide "Federal Service" by serving in the military or other service. The social structure of the world is divided between citizens (people who served) and civilians (people who didn't serve).

The formation of the UCF is never fully explained in the movie. However, dialogue at the beginning of the film suggests its formation was similar to the Terran Federation (albeit more bloody).
