Seal of the President

Madza Bral was a Trill politician of the early 23rd century. She was elected to the post of Federation President in the 2200s and served two terms. Bral was the first President of the Federation that wasn't from one of the four founding Member States.

Her retirement speech included the following excerpt:

The presidency is quite possibly the worst job in the Federation. The hours are long, the work is difficult, the decisions that have to be made are unimaginable to anyone who has never set foot in the Palais de la Concorde. Your successes are unappreciated, your failures are blown out of all proportion, and your life disintegrates before your very eyes. And having said all that, I would never, under any circumstances, trade the last eight years for anything... What matters, in the end, is that the Federation endures.

(novel: Articles of the Federation)

This seems to indicate that Trill was a Federation Member State as early as the late 22nd century. Articles of the Federation establishes that Bral was elected "about a hundred and fifty years" before 2380; with a term of four years, regular election years around 150 years before 2380 would be 2232 and 2228; to accomodate Greshlahrigm, we can assume that Bral was elected in 2232, assumed office in 2233 and stayed in office until 2240.
