This is a quickfail. The article needs more citations. Vast portions, including an entire section (Comparison with other federations), lack citations; this might be easier visualized with a script like User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages. Additional sources would help a lot here. Aim to have every paragraph end in an inline citation.

Your prose is pretty good, but the citation volume needs to be increased.

If you have questions about the GA criteria or best practices, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:19, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Some suggestions:

Split footnotes from references by using {{efn}} for the former and adding a Notes section with {{notelist}}.
Encouragement: Use consistent citation templates like {{Cite book}}. Not all citations are using such templates.
