Federations should be disabled in single player play. They are awful and clearly not a full fledged feature. There are so many gotcha's its incredible they even decided to include it in the first place.
Want to declare war on a neighbor to expand? Nope, please wait 40 years to be president.
Want to go to war with a Fallen Empire at year 75? Too bad, your president yolo'd. As a bonus the Fallen Empire only attacks you, because AI's stick together.
Can't find the federation fleet? Your smaller ally disbanded the entire thing because it was too expensive. RIP
