Okay, now...

I think a better system of classification might be to base them on Earth's history. So you might have:
 * 1) Paleolithic - primitive societies, probably nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes (like your "Primitive Tribes" Tier 1)
 * 2) Neolithic - agricultural societies, have permanent villages (like your "Medium Tribes" Tier 1)
 * 3) Chacolithic - agricultural societies with primitive metallurgy, probably have small cities (like your "Advanced Tribes" Tier 2)
 * 4) Iron Age - relatively advanced societies, between Chacolithic and Classical in development (like your "Little Asvcanced Nations" Tier 2)
 * 5) Classical - much more advanced societies, equivalent to Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome (like your Tier 3)
 * 6) Industrial - equivalent to 18th-19th century European/American societies (like your Tier 4)

Obviously, these are basic descriptions, and should be changed for the Tier scale, but that's basically what they would be like.
