I kind of intended my nation to be somewhat older and still have powerful tech. but reached some sort of dark ages where no real advances have been made, similar to the imperium of man in warhammer 40k. If they were actively advancing with the retarded resources at thier disposal, the imperium would just stomp everyone.. well most of them. there is no extinguishing the WAAAAGH! 

Large population, large military and a wide nation that is actively split and warring itself. (Listed my worlds under the description of homeworld) I dont have a census as so many have died it'd be hard to really peg a number. 

Now dont get me wrong, there are enough cruisers to pose a threat but not enough for the kind of worry any one in a space rp would be frightful of.

Hopefully those changes fall in line
