Based on the gist of how you've described your canon, I would personally classify it as "soft-supernatural PMT", since despite a number of advanced anomalous phenomena, it lacks the technological, economic, and quantitative essence of FT. While this nation (my main) is hard mid-high PMT (set over a hundred years in the future, yet very much adhering to the principles of hard sci-fi) soft PMT is a field in which I have been very active, and would be happy to converse with you further on it.
And for the record, this thread was made for NationStates the website, not just nations-states the geopolitical concept.
So there are different variety to the tech levels, fascinating. But yes the group is bound to the planet and while Gate tech does allow them to travel to other realities and they have made some facilities in some of the safer regions in other worlds for the most part they aren't going to make cities or colonies on them due to the fact that most of the population doesn't know they exist and as such the will for colonization is just not there. Most of those facilities are for studying those realities, gathering resources, and testing and housing some of their more advanced technologies that would be a threat to the masquerade if discovered on a warehouse on earth. They also sometimes contain dangerous anomalies away from the Earth so if they escape than Earth isn't screwed but that is an extremely rare use of those facilities since those facilities are very rare themselves and they want to make the best use of them and not dedicate them to a sole task.
