Population
Rank 0 (0 points): A backwater nowhere solar system, the Nexus equivalent of a city-state.

Transhumanism
Rank 1 (1 point): Minor genetic engineering has spliced in desirable traits from exceptional humans, but except for a few outliers, everyone remains functionally ‘natural’ if generally healthier, fitter and perhaps smarter than 20th century humans.

Infrastructure
Rank 8 (8 points): Construction Rating 85, max size 100

Growth Potential
Rank 4 (4 points): So many natural resources you're probably selling them to people.

Military Support
Rank 8 (8 points): 21x Infrastructure in support

Space Fleet
Rank 8 (8 points): 1040 fleet points

Diplomacy
Rank 0 (0 points): Space North Korea or similarly unpleasant and insular regimes.

Espionage
Rank 3 (4 points): Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

General Advancement
Rank 0 (0 points): Your nation’s overall advancement level in fundamental fields such as energy generation, metallurgy, etc is below the Nexus norm. Major powers that have low technology like this almost certainly compensate with an assload of industry.

Unique Technology
Rank 1 (2 points): Your technology is pretty much universally understood if perhaps not used; generic ray guns, generic railguns, generic shields, generic gravity plating, genetic glowing sublight rockets. Get the picture? Later-era Babylon 5, Star Wars without the wacky superweapons, Freespace, Wing Commander . . . l.

Emergent Technologies
Rank 0 (0 points): Safetech only; while the overall advancement level might be high, there is no access (probably deliberately) to nanotechnology, advanced AIs and the like. The reimagined Battlestar Galactica is the archetype here.

Magic
Rank 0 (0 points): You scrupulously obey the laws of physics.
