I am not familiar with the term, "federated" or its meaning... I'm hoping to get some serious answers and perhaps even some comedic answers....
Edit: thank you to all who answered my call for enlightenment. I'm even more confused (and hopeful) than I was before!
We are now part of the glorious United States of Amerca's federal government. Your blue FBI jacket is on the way in the mail (I don't really know what we just did either lol)
