Mission

The Fictional Universe Taxonomy Research project collects statistics about civilizations in science fiction universes.

How many planets do they have? How big is their fleet? Can they do time travel? What is their technological level, their life expectancy, their wealth distribution?

Our mission is to characterize the fictional universes we love by numbers and make them comparable.

Metrics

This is how we gauge universes, civilizations and polities.

Some have many planets or ring worlds, others might be measured by their progress to higher spheres of existence.

This is not a competition, though.
