The Weekly Food Basket (WFB) is the ration pack issued to citizens of the Federal Confederation for breakfast and dinner, complementing lunch meals served at Federal Canteens and school/work cafeterias.

The program is overseen by the Federal Allotment Agency (FAA), calculated by GAIA under the Annual Plan, produced by the Federal Food Plant (FFP), and distributed via local Federal Allotment Centers (FACs). Movement of WFB consignments follows permitted corridors and sealed-manifest handovers managed with the Federal Courier Service.

The WFB’s legal basis is Section 7 — Nutrition & Food of the Civil Code and Amendment 5 of the Common Constitution (adequate housing and nutrition within available resources).

Instituted after the Great War during the transition to the Gamma Age, the WFB replaced Beta Age private markets with a centralized, vegetarian supply in line with the Peace Treaty. Cecile Maillard championed the basket model as a fair, low-energy distribution mechanism; its standardization is sometimes nicknamed the “Maillard basket.”

Allocation is individualized by GAIA and verified at pickup with the Allotment Card.
