'Hi we're Starfleet, and we recruit our captains from among the best and the brightest on 150 member worlds, spread over 8,000 light years! But the vast majority of the time, when it's not Jean-Luc Picard, we just get them from this one particular country that accounts for about 4% of the population of Earth. Weird, huh?'

Yeah, well have you looked at the starting salary? And the mortality rate of enlisted... all the smart species know to stay away.

Starfleet is a uniquely human thing. I wonder if the other worlds think we’re weird for wanting to explore the universe.

Vulcans in Enterprise definitely did. All of the other member races maintain their own space force so it really is a human thing even if it’s not a human thing

Wasn't the Vulcan ship in DS9 still technically a Starfleet vessel?

That one was, but the Vulcan science directorate still has a fleet.
