Government? Never. It HAS, however, been the premier force to be reconed with for the last 400 years. Just about anything major that has happened since the Wedge left earth the WDF or its central personnel have been involved with in one way or another. The only wars in which it did not 'invite' itself were those during the Exile period.

Even during that period, members of the WDF, such as Hammer and Thunder force, Chris and Mako, Doc, and sundrie others continued the ongoing presence and reputation of the WDF members, and their ongoing influance over the galaxy.

And remember that Salusia and Zardon, two of the older and most influential members of the old UG were also quite enamored with earth. I refer you to Rites of Passage, where reactionaries were so scared of the way Salusia had fallen in love with earth ways (which would include english as spoken by members of the WDF and Jeremy Freeple) that they attempted a coup.

Said coup resulted in Princes Asriel on the throne, A MEMBER OF THE WDF!
