nah they are advanced its just they have decided to not "unite" as a race. they do have space travel, but they use their space ships mostly for trade, something they are very good at. Even though they are not "united", since they do not war between tribes they are seemingly a nation, but they are still technically not. Their market is a true laissez-faire economy, the gov't has no regulations in their economy. When they do come into conflict with warmongering aliens, they choose to either choke their opponents economically, or subvert their enemies own culture causing civil war within their enemies own cities. This subversion occurs through the Koszaen use of propaganda and superior knowledge of psychology. Though for the purposes of the actual pc game this will mostly be replaced by normal warfare, and their gov't will become united, but for the forums they will stay as i have outlined. also because of their general military neutrality, they are often chosen as negotiators between warring alien groups.
