"Why are you still so inferior to this other guy who is below you in rank!"
Joseph explicitly states that defeating a country in war will not raise your rank.
Ninja, like he said, has put all the time and effort I've put into my technology (and a fair bit more, actually, since he was doing it well before I came along) into developing his culture and so on, which is why he both has his rank and only has really developed 2100s-era technology.
Comparatively, his development in culture is ahead of my development in technology, so he's higher than me.

Hmm... did we ever discuss some sort of rankings split where nations were ranked militaristically and culturally in separate lists? I swear someone in the BoSS raised it and it got shot down, but I can't remember why.
