Nope, the TSAB isn't the Federation.
For one thing, it seems a lot less worried about holding territory per se. This makes sense if you consider that they're dimensional travelers, and so at least...

There's two problems here.
First is that we haven't seen "enough" of the Nanohaverse to divine its laws of magic. Clearly they're capable of subverting physical laws through magic. But we don't...

One has to wonder about those stealth drones.
They're obviously a lot more effective than normal ones. They managed to get through and put little Nanoha out of action, even if it was kind of a...

Keep in mind that mages have a hell of a detection radius. Nanoha picked up Vita so far away that she managed to go, without flying, from her lil' suburban neighborhood to a built-up area. (Okay,...
