I'd have rated Earth at least equal with Alliance.  In fact, I'd rate it
equal with Union except for azi technology, which Earth does not have or
use.  Earth troubles are usually not caused by technological inferiority,
but by political (psychological?) restrictions.  They want control, not 
trade.
