All being in a Federation with the original realm, kind of means going 
to war with whoever they want to for all members. But if a member state 
goes to war with someone, then the other might not join them.
Otherwise they are all ruling themselves, making there own diplomatic 
chooses. But personally I'd think of the original realm as like the 
ruler of all, but your more likely to listen to your own local ruler.

Well yeah if it involves the entire federation, then it will most likely 
happen here. But then not all members of every realm would have to join 
the guild. And each realm would still have to take out there plans 
seperate from the guild, and just take to the guild what they plan to 
do. So hopefully it would still cut down on some of the messages, though 
it also might mean more messages for some people.
