{{Short description|Fictional interstellar ethical/political entity created by Alan Dean Foster}}
The '''Humanx Commonwealth''' is a fictional interstellar ethical/political entity featured in the [[science fiction]] novels of [[Alan Dean Foster]].<ref>[http://www.alandeanfoster.com/version2.0/frameset.htm Commonwealth Map] ''alandeanfoster.com''</ref><ref>[https://www.amazon.com/dp/034541862X Phylogenesis: Book One of The Founding of the Commonwealth] ''Alan Dean Foster''</ref> The Commonwealth takes its name from its two major [[sapience|sapient]] species, who jointly inhabit Commonwealth planets and administer both the political and religious/ethical aspects. They are the [[mammal]]ian Humans of the planet [[Earth]] and the [[insect]]oid Thranx which dwell upon Hivehom.  The Commonwealth is described as a progressive, well-intentioned [[liberal democracy]] spanning many star systems, and is somewhat similar to the [[United Federation of Planets]] from ''[[Star Trek]]''.  The Humanx Commonwealth is notable for its portrayal of a human–alien relationship that is not just mutually beneficial but symbiotic, allowing an amalgamation of the two species.
