When the war ended, rather than disband, the militia continued to exist as many others had done after the Mexican-American War. The UFF functioned similarly to the fraternal organization it is today with a structural hierarchy and local chapters, and relying on membership dues and donations from its members. The UFF remains a controversial organization, particularly due to concern over the illegal and violent activities of some of its members undertake.

abstract
  • When the war ended, rather than disband, the militia continued to exist as many others had done after the Mexican-American War. The UFF functioned similarly to the fraternal organization it is today with a structural hierarchy and local chapters, and relying on membership dues and donations from its members. The UFF remains a controversial organization, particularly due to concern over the illegal and violent activities of some of its members undertake. Although the UFF officially ceased belligerent functions since the end of the Civil War, some members of the UFF have been involved in organized crime, mainly through distributing illegal drugs, blackmailing, murders, and fraud. The main area of operations for the UFF is concentrated in the Sierran Heartland region: mainly San Joaquin, as well as Plumas, Reno, Santa Clara, and Tahoe. In 2015, the UFF had 8 branches, 77 chapters, and 13,281 reported members. The actual figures of total members in the UFF may be higher as the UFF only counts individuals who have been part of the organization for more than 5 years, are 21 years or older, and paid their monthly membership dues as members. An entire subculture has emerged within the UFF that has spread throughout the region and influenced similar, related organizations such as the Styxers and the Heartland Defense League. An officially mixed organization, the UFF accepts all members regardless of sex, gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, or religion, but requires all inductees to forsake any allegiance to the Monarchy, or any other monarchies, and to defend the values of the Republic through the Farmhand's Pledge. In some chapters, members are also required to show proof that they are registered members of the Democratic-Republican, or are willing to change party affiliations to the said party. On several occasions, the Democratic-Republican leadership officially condemned the UFF and discouraged party members from joining the organization.
