The first example does not have interstellar or intergalactic influence, skipping directly to interuniversal; the third example shows how a civilization can have a size with no bound yet still only be Type 11.

The difference in actual influence within this tier can be arbitrarily large; while I'm not asking for subdivisions or anything, it might be worth addressing this disparity in some way.
Type 7 - Astro Ambassador
Many planets, planetoids, moons, space stations, asteroids, or other large stellar objects are under the influence of a Type 7 nation. These bodies do not necessarily need to be in the same star system or even the same universe.

The first example would probably be a Type 7:Type 7 - Astro Ambassador
Many planets, planetoids, moons, space stations, asteroids, or other large stellar objects are under the influence of a Type 7 nation. These bodies do not necessarily need to be in the same star system or even the same universe.
I can clarify again, if necessary, that the area influenced does not need to be in the same universe for lower tiers. Any interstellar power, even if the star systems influenced are in different universes, would be a Type 8, any intergalactic power is a Type 10 even if the galaxies are not in the same universe, etc.

I'm not entirely sure if there is enough of a distinction between a civilization which influences "many different universes" versus a civilization which influences many thousands of universes or many billions of universes.
Sure, the scale is larger, but the scale can be moved up arbitrarily. Earlier Types at least generally distinguish different types of things influenced (planets versus galaxies, for example) rather than merely scaling up, and at the multiversal level there is literally no end to the number of tiers you could create because the number just keeps going up.
Lastly, this is mainly a roleplay aid. I do not feel that the distinction between the lowest Type 11 and the infinite Type 11 is enough that it would really matter in roleplay. Both nations would participate in the same roleplays on more or less equal power levels. Contrast this to a Type 7, which would probably be an FT nation but would probably not be in the same roleplays as a Type 9, which might also be an FT nation. The scale is different.

One could certainly continue to define different types of things past universes; multiverse clusters, polyverses, cardinalities, whatever you care to describe... though your comment about this being a roleplay aid sort of makes that irrelevant, you're right. Thanks for clearing this up.

To survive the coming age, we must adapt, resist populist influences, and root out greedy tyranny from the hallowed halls of government, and as God is my witness, we will survive.
