Yet Another Civilization Index [Still Alive]

[Piste-Land]

Nation: The Goldonian Republic of Piste-Land
Tier: Tier 6.5 — Digital Discoverer/Stellar Settler
Level: Level 2 — Sage Soothsayer
Type: Type 5 — Regional Regent
Special Notes about your civilization: Piste-Land has a colony and an alliance, which are called Free Incredisomia and the Neutral Entente respectively. The reason for it being a Level 2 nation is because it has some portals that allow travel between Earth and Equinox.
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? Not really, but the Magic System seems a bit too odd.

[United Imperial Systems]

Taggy toggy tiggy tag.

[Post War America]

Nation: The North American Socialist Commonwealth
Tier: Space tech high tier 6, Most domestic tech 7, Biotech is a low 8. Tier 7 I guess.
Level: Level 3: (Power levels can potentially be very high, but the ability to perform magic is very rare, and the ability to perform powerful magic rarer still, and it does require years of study to become a competent mage for those who are capable of learning the craft).
Type: Type 6: We are the big dogs of a select region, and have limited projection capacity outside this region, and into orbit to a lesser extent.
Special Notes about your civilization: Most of these selections are not firm, as ratings would be composites.

[Imperivm Terrae]

Nation: The Terran Imperium (IC); Imperivm Terrae (OOC)
Tier: Tier 9
Level: Level 1
Type: Type 9
Special Notes about your civilisation:
- Cybernetic enhancements and genetic modifications are uncommon, except for the [formerly] sick and amputated
- Almost instantaneous communication by sending ultra-speed signals into hyperspace is commonplace; relatively cheap and easy too
- Kinetic energy weapons and explosives are used; energy-based weaponry is considered inefficient and expensive
- Nuclear fusion is the most common source of energy; we harvest the hydrogen from the richest source - stars
- Energy shields are common for our ships, military or civilian; they can take an ample amount of damage before failing
- This scale's "Level 1" magic exists within the population, though there is a 1 in 100 billion probability for any individual to possess this power

[The Evermind]

Nation: The Evermind (Unending Abstract Dominion of)
Tier: 12
Level: 12
Type: 12
Special Notes about your civilization: A metaversal entity and a living cosmos practically equal to the Lovecraftian Outer Gods. Commands servitor entities and cultivates civilisations as unknowing vassals. One could say all of that plus its sealed Archipelago of civilisation farms and artificial branes can be seen as one civilisation. Wanky? Yes. I can however offer the consolation that mine is indeed not the most wanky creation ever conceived.
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? Not at present. I actually found it quite enjoyable to peruse, and genuinely liked the formulations.

[Karamiko]

Nation: Karamiko
Tier: 6
Level: 0
Type: 4
Special Notes about your civilization:
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? No

[New Polypontia]

Nation: New Polypontia
Tier: 4
Level: 8

Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index?

[Valgora]

Nation: The Derpy Technocratic Democracy of Valgora
Tier: 6.5 - 7
Level: 6 - 8
Type: 4 - 5

Special Notes about your civilization:
There are 3 main species that live in Valgora, and some find magic easier than others.
The current government is only 2 years old.

Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? Can't think of any.

[Hydraic Empire]

Nation: The Imperial State of the Skaran-Hydraic Empire
Tier: 10
Level: 3
Type: 9
Special Notes about your civilization: Temporal travel is possible; military is 50% of the population; immortality is only available to prominent figures
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? Add in temporal travel to your scale?

[Glorious Terran Empire]

Nation:Glorious Terran Empire
Tier: 8.5
Level: 0.01
Type: 8
Special Notes about your civilization: Used to be a government-in-exile stationed out of another galaxy due to a string of catastrophes and a convenient wormhole. Has since reconquered the Earth and expanded out to neighboring systems. Recently became the focal point of a large conflict during a defensive war-of-domination.
Gamma-Ray-Lasers are the pinnacle of weapons tech, though neutron particle cannons are more conventional weapons.
Q-Comm Relays for FTL comms.
Antimatter and Fusion power are the principle methods of power generation.
Genemodding and Cybernetics are extremely commonplace, used most often to extend lifespans beyond natural limits.
Extreme-Efficiency Hydroponics and Cloning Technology have been used to allow for rapid population growth, with clones holding legal citizenship and independent identities.
Energy Field Manipulation is used on both small and large vessels.
Warp Drives and Artificial Wormhole Jump Drives are most commonly used for FTL travel.
If the Empire discovers the secrets of the artifact vessel detailed in the factbook, it would likely become a 9/0.01/9 on your scale.
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? Remove Multiversal Wankers. But that's just my bias talking.

[Astora and Argam]

Nation: The Kingdoms of Astora and Argam
Tier: 3
Level: 9
Type: 5
Special Notes about your civilization: None
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index?

Your magic system really needs to be reworked.

Too much emphasis on stuff like telekinesis, stuff like fireballs seems way to high up and should be lower than weather manipulation imo, etc.

And thats if you keep it, magic varies so much in formula that its questionable if you can even contain it all at specific tiers evenly.

[Union of Socialist Alpine Republics]

Nation: Union of Socialist Alpine Republics
Tier: 6
Level: 0
Type: 5
Special Notes about your civilization: The U.S.A.R. is the merging of a dozen nations which formed the Union of Socialist Alpine Republics.

[Wastrellia]

Nation: The Wastetown of Wastrellia
Tier: 1.9
Our smiths like Ross can melts down scraps and makes into tools, or even mix certain scrap together into stronger scraps. Like the shiny tube scraps that some food came from makes really good tools, they also make great gun parts.

We also manages to tie these 3 cows together and make them walk in circle to grind down our grains.

Level: 0.000001
Well this gal Fay who lives in this tent by the dead tree can pull her fingers off and back. She fiercely defends her secret and it kinda scared the kids so I think it counts.

Type: 2.1
We don't actually try to exert any control outside our wall, but the smaller settlements and raiders around us never try to cross us, and sometimes even give us some free stuff. Sometimes when we're low on stuff we would send groups a bit farther to trade and scavange.

Special Notes about your civilization:
Westrellia is a town located in a post apocalyptic wasteland littered with ruins and wreckages filled with all sort of techs and items. So while they can't build electrical generator on their own, they know how to operate and maintains existing ones. Noone knows anything about chemistry, but they know that if you mix certain chemicals they can make something like gunpowder.

[Crown-Alliance]

Nation: the crown alliance
Tier: 6
Level: 5 (allthough the community is keeped secret)
Type: 4
Special Notes about your civilization: on the verge to tier 7 (particulary in the genetical section)
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? /

[Athralia]

Nation: The Matriarchy of Athralia
Tier: 9 - Wise Wanderer (FT)
Level: 0 - Inept
Type: 8 - Stellar Senator
Special Notes about your civilisation: While it is classed as a Type 8 nation, Athralia's technological prowess has allowed it to easily dominate all those it has encountered in its home galaxy. Were it not for Athralia's relatively small population, it would be verging on becoming a Type 9 nation.
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index?: None

[Excidium Planetis]

Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? Add in temporal travel to your scale?

An excellent idea, however, it is hard to say where I would it. All FTL inherently involves time travel, so perhaps I'll stick it where FTL is.

---

The Magic system will be revised. I'm just taking my sweet time working on it.

[Hydraic Empire]

Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? Add in temporal travel to your scale?

---

The Magic system will be revised. I'm just taking my sweet time working on it.

In that case, perhaps scaling "control" over temporal travel - for example: a=can travel up to 50 years into the past, but cannot interfere; b=can travel 50 years to the past or future, but cannot interfere; c-h=versions of b with larger numbers; i=can travel 5000 years into the past or future and can interfere.
Interference may be included at earlier tiers.

Oh cool, any info on what we could expect?

[Barisea]

Nation: The Kingdom of Barisea

[Nocturnalis]

Nation:
Tier: 6
Level: 3.5
Type: 6
Special Notes about your civilization: Despite being a Tier 6 nation, the Noctish Realm has never shown an interest in expanding into space. Not with the abundance of unclaimed land and resources on our home planet.

[YellowApple]

YellowApple Department of Information
Databanks Query Result


Nation:
    YellowApple, Inc.
Tier:
    Tier 9 (tentatively; see notes/improvements)
Level:
    Level 3 (tentatively; see notes/improvements)
Type:
    Type 7 (tentatively; see notes/improvements)
Special Notes about your civilization:
    YellowApple, Inc. deviates significantly from the sorts of
    assumptions made by this scale (and similar previous scales).  In
    particular:

    - YellowApple, Inc. can be classified as Tier 8, Tier 9, or Tier
      10 depending on perspective.  YellowApplans do have the ability
      to travel between universes thanks to its particular brand of
      wormhole-based superluminal transit technology; however, other
      prerequisites for Tier 10 are mostly missing from YellowApple,
      Inc.  Meanwhile, YellowApple, Inc. is certainly capable of
      achieving most of the requirements of Tier 9 (and in some cases
      - like with superluminal communications and (to an extent)
      megastructure construction - has already achieved them), but
      tends to hang around Tier 8 if only because most of the things
      in Tiers 9 and 10 are not really desired by YellowApplans.

    - YellowApplans on average sit somewhere between Level 2 and Level
      3, but that's only the average.  YellowApple, Inc. is a
      multi-species civilization, and several of those species are
      capable of "magic" (it's really just sufficiently-advanced
      biology and/or technology, but that's beside the point) that
      would fit into a range between Level 2 and Level 8.

    - YellowApple, Inc. "leapfrogged" over many of the other types
      leading up to Type 7.  It's also bordering on Type 8 as its
      control over various star systems continues to grow.
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index?
    The technology index likely needs to be adjusted considerably to
    account for different potential paths in technological, arcane,
    and political advancement.  For example, YellowApple, Inc. is
    classifiable as a Tier 10 civilization based on its superluminal
    transit capabilities, but is classifiable as a Tier 7 civilization
    based on its power sources (fission and fusion are the norm), Tier
    8 based on the availability of antimatter and the prevalence of
    cybernetic prostheses, or Tier 9 based on the availability of
    superluminal communication and the "unravel the very fabric of
    physics" bit.

    Meanwhile, the arcane index would be much more useful for
    multi-species civilizations if it allowed multiple entries (one
    per species or subspecies).

[Flawless Eugen Interstellar Empire]

Nation: Flawless Eugen Interstellar Empire
Tier: Tier 9
Level: Level 0 (Genetic modification has led to abilities some might call "magic" , but it is associated with known quantum physics so i don't think it applies )
Type: Type 8
Special Notes about your civilization: Not currently
Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? You won't hear me complain

Nation: The United Confederation of Empires
