Favorite nation title?

The Romulan Star Empire always sounded interesting to me, from the first time I heard it on TOS. I would also like to have seen them portrayed as they were in Balance of Terror, honorable people bound by duty to serve leaders who were imperfect. In BoT, Romulans were people I could respect, even though there goals were much different from the Federation. Later Trek reduced them to conniving cronies not worthy of respect. I always thought it was a missed opportunity that TNG never took them back to what could have been.
 
Tholian Assembly, or First Federation (what the heck kind of name is that for a government, anyway? you usually only define something as first in relationship to subsequent others:wtf:).

Yeah, it sounds really pretentious given that there is another Federation out there. "Oooo, look at us! We're the first Federation!"

agreed about BoT. but the Enterprise Incident didn't treat them too shabbily, right?
