I feel my suggestion will make more sense.

Note that all tech examples are examples, not requirements.
Civilization now probably has access to faster-than-light travel. Sentient, but not sapient, artificial intelligences may have been created.

From the OP:Note that all tech examples are examples, not requirements.
This is why I continually use the words "may" and "might" to describe having certain technologies. They are to give an idea of what a nation at that Tier might typically look like.Civilization now probably has access to faster-than-light travel. Sentient, but not sapient, artificial intelligences may have been created.
Theoretically, you might have none of the techs listed as examples, if you really felt like your nation was comparable to a nation at that Tier.
As for why I will not adopt a tech scale for multiple tech types... how many "technology fields" are there? 3? 5? 27? Is there even a finite number of fields in technology? What about fields that human kind has not even thought of yet? There's simply no way to make it work.

I'm glad modern day Earth's superpower is less influential than a middle power in 100,000 years from now. For the technoilogy they had, Ancient Greece was more influential than Indonesia is today, but under your influence rating, Indonesia would out-rank Ancient Greece.
Australian Republic wrote:Any Improvement Suggestions for the Index? Besides me rant in the previous post, it's okay, with Tier, just beccause the technology exists, it doesn't mean that @@NAME@@ has access to it. For example in real life, Australia has most technology avaliable in other countries, labelling it as Tier 6, but we have no spae program. We are not any less technologically advanced then the USA, in fact, we were a key player in the moon landing. Modern toilets exist in Modern Day India, and modern day India exists sumultaneously with Modern day Australia, and has the same level of technology as modern day India. And i'm not even getting into uncontacted tribes. Going back to the toilet example, of coarse India (as a whole) knows that they exist, and of coarse India (as a whole) has the technology to install them, but according to this index, India is unaware of such technology, because it's poor. Also, there are Indians out there who do have toilets- lots of them
Also, there is too big a jump between rankings, for example, the influence ranking jumps strait from minor-power (Earth), to superpower (Earth). What about everything in between? You virtually jump from the influence level of Fiji strait to the influence level of the USA, do you see why you need smaller gaps?
As far as humanity knows (and I am NOT starting a discussion about the statistical/mathematically odds of an intelligent species outside of the universe, NOR am I starting a discussion about alien conspiracy theories) and therefore the influence rating being altered is very important, and if advanced aliens do exist, then the review of the influence rating is even MORE important, as it shows that you can be EXTREMELY influencial without being aware of the existance of other species. You already rate nations on their ability to travel the multiverse, (assuming it exists to begin with), you don't need to make contries appear to be less influential because they can't access it
In my opinion, an economic matrix needs to exist in some form or another, but am I overthinking my version of it?
You did a very, very good job otherwise
