Perhaps "Empire" could be used for that ultra-high level. :-)
On Terra Nova, there are at least three "Empires". The planet was
barren before 50,000 years ago (which means that there are no fossil
fuels, the probable reason that no industrial revolution ever occurred),
and was terraformed by a long-vanished race, which brought life there.
At least three distinct genetic types have been discovered. Four if you
count the Earth-derived life represented by the human colonists and the
organisms they brought with them.
