Unless I missed an ep of ENT that contradicts this.
There is an ep that shows this. Now I'm lousy with episode names but in one season 4 episode of Enterprise they are on earth and negotiations for an alliance that would become the federation (Enterprise says that the federation evolved from a NATO-like arrangment to an EU-like arrangment). And all the races I mentioned plus 2-3 others are at this meeting. The other 2-3 aren't named so one could be from Alpha Centuari.

Dukat says to Garrick in one episode of DS9 that "We all serve the will of the central command" or something similar.

We need Beirut to settle this.
