RE: Star Trek Is Pretty Much North Korea In Space
"militaristic body of governance "
Define this term. Is it any governing body with a military? Because, if you don't define it that way (and I sure don't), the Federation is not one. It has a civilian president.
All the resources and decisions are taken from a governing body that controls everything. They have all the weapons. All the power.
Which was time after time irrelevant. The decisions were taken from the military. In one episode he couldn't even Veto without some majority support.
