"It seems probable that Ireland, Spain and Kazakhstan could have been members, seeing as the Bringloidi were of mainly Irish/Celtic descent, their ship SS Mariposa had a Spanish language name, and was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan (formerly, the Soviet Union) (TNG episode: "Up the Long Ladder") "
Removed the above paragraph as it is unsupportable fan speculation.
A ship having a foreign name is not in any way proof that the ship's point of origin is the same as that of the language. The ship SS Mariposa is most likely named after one of two real world ships. The first which provided service between San Francisco and other Pacific Coast ports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Mariposa_(1883), or the other, an ocean liner which participated in World War II: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Mariposa. Both ships are American, not Spanish, in origin, and likely derive their Spanish name from the Spanish-language communities on the US West Coast.
Similarly, the SS Mariposa being launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome is not proof that any of the crew were Kazakhstani. Space launches from all countries to the International Space Station happen in at Baikonur because that's where the facilities to launch people into space are. If they had launched from Cape Canaveral would we automatically assume they were American? No. Not to mention that Kazakhstan is in central Asia, and not Europe, so their membership in a European political power is implausible without any further explanation. - 167.88.26.194 17:47, May 4, 2018 (UTC) SevenOfNein
