Let’s say I decide I’ve had enough with this whole Federation business and that humanity would be better represented by a Starfleet that follows my particular ideology. Assuming I could get enough people for crew and support, why can’t I start my own Starfleet?
I could replicate ship parts until I have a couple vessels. Go to new worlds and present myself as the official first contact of humanity. I could fly to Vulcan or Bajor and tell them no actually my organization represents humanity.
What’s going to stop me?
Pfft, that archaic little sunsail jalopy? Geordi had the same hobby, with the added challenge of bottling his recreations.
Besides, I’m sure some Bajorans would have notes on the cultural appropriation aspect.

More starship than you’ve replicated noob! 😉
