Okay, Ailor is now predicting Gremir has somehow solved the liquidity and rationing problems inherent in money. This opens up a whole new set of questions that are not the most important thing right now and will be tabled. For now, Gremir is being modeled as a Current Era civilization through some incomprehensible alien path. 

With Gremir laying it all on the table Ailor will certainly respond in kind. The read on space tech is spot on. Ailor's space program is likely similar or slightly behind Gremir, as it's focused on science instead of manufacturing takeoff. Ailor has orbital scale interferometry equipment and its lunar bases are almost all research projects. We don't have a lunar railgun yet- there's a small chance that material will be more useful where it is later- but the battlestar class airships have a railgun used to assist LEO launches. 
(The titanium could all be replaced by aluminum practically speaking, but on the off chance that elves were real and showed up the chance to flex by walking around in mithril buttons was too tempting to pass up. Similarly, the diamond soled shoes were a hedge against possible cases that didn't come up where subtle displays of wealth would be useful.)

Ailor's arcology tech is just different enough that we can see already integration and standardization is going to be a nightmare. The nearest capsule- equivalent is inconveniently not exactly half the size and only used for goods. People are transported via train/trolley/skyway, bicycles, and airship. Airplanes and recreational vehicles are relatively rare. Especially airplanes, for cultural reasons.

Gremir is also correct that it's centralized computing is ahead of Ailor. Even with EUV being an older technology on Ailor, well, sometimes quantity has a quality of its own. Within that domain we don't expect to realistically compete. We note you didn't mention any of the other forms of computing, such as wetware or quantum.

Hydrogen train tunnels might be better than our current best practices regenerative maglev. We'd like to compare specs. The biological specimen are also of interest.

Ailor is... not likely to adopt thermonuclear mining or the cybernetics. The first because of the side effects and the second because there's a long health and safety cycle for such things to be adopted into best practices, on the order of 70 years. Almost all of our interventions are bio identical where possible. Plastic and other new material medical devices are a thing of last resort. This won't stop biohackers, but just be aware you're marketing to a niche audience. (There's a look on the Ailor delegation when they realize that's not just a turn of phrase here.)

Ailor has fusion and fission for every conceivable purpose, although we do mostly prefer to use our Slack on renewables for aesthetic and cultural reasons. 

Military... well, no one will admit to anything newer than 80 years being a weapon. The weapons they do admit to from the World War are potentially quite terrifying. Jet fighters and tanks and flame throwers and a shoulder launched thermonuclear warhead. There's a reason that they were focused on being Friendly and not proactively talking about their tech! Even now, if it's not obvious why parts of their satellite constellation is made of solid tungsten or what the alternative uses for a suborbital railgun are it's probably a kindness not to say. 

Ailor very much hopes their contribution to other worlds can be their scientific specialization and fervor, with the military being a historical curiosity. 

Also blitz: Human microbiome project is done, we're moving into microbiome ecology. We've all but eliminated bad breath and a few other things via probiotics. We have extincted the majority of infectious disease such as Smallpox, Polio, etc. Right now uploading is taking up the bulk of our research budget. That's something time sensitive until cryo is provably reversible instead of just likely reversible. The largest known known economic problem is positional goods. People sometimes hang onto obsolete things long after the math says to replace them as a positional good. We haven't yet calculated the ideal positional good tax. Kinda had a slow start on that one because positional goods in theory weren't supposed to exist. 

The list of inventions both fantastic and untranslatable is stacking up, though what's coming through is fascinating!

(An outsider reviewing The Official History of the World, Abridged might notice any of three reasons for this: an absence of fossil fuels, their physicists seem to have hit a wall after a surprisingly early discovery of relativity and electromagnetic unification, and their industrialization was indeed less tumultuous but also much slower. And those are just the reasons one can infer from reading a book whose title ignores the irony of including both "Official History" and "Abridged.")

"I think most of this is beyond our current productive capabilities and I get the impression that developing a domestic electronics industry would be the first step in being able to use the technical elements of any reciprocally licensed intellectual property."

"We are currently not accepting any immigration out of concern for our ecology and possible disruption to our ability to remain at or above replacement rate.

We do have data access here if you want to donate technological specifications or commission Adventurers or Endeavours to gather further data of interest to you."

"If we're the same planet I think we'd have had to have diverged in, like, planet formation? We don't have such large land continents or so much volcanic activity, and I think we just lack the main biome for primate evolution, which is why cliff dwelling avians that started raft building to cross oceans easier filled the intelligence and tool using niche instead?"

Ailor predicts that any negotiating leverage will be best spent getting the default position in matters of standardization. If the leverage isn't sufficient for that, then we'll start with flagging and produce an ordered list of standards they think will benefit from the most. (The Head of Government helpfully taps the parts of their outfit that says "Anyone may approach for sex" and "Anyone may approach for conversation" when they bring up flagging, to be clear what they're talking about.)

If you want to race modernization, Ailor is happy to have a race! And a Friendly race is much nicer and less commons-burning than a competitive one! Here's our current optimized plan for an Ailor Gremir Vuleftis Kastakian trade hub. Here's our conservative prediction for opening of Ways beyond that. If we run into an emergency we have some expensive, commons burning, and dangerous options for larger scale transit we think will work but obviously there hasn't been enough time to get that through Ailor-level health and safety testing.

Active censoring is considered somewhat hostile on Ailor, so our censoring tech is all theoretical. Mostly we just don't bring things up if we don't want people to know them.

Space is dominated by the rocket equation. Getting certain sized things into LEO is insanely cheap fuel wise, but then you have to boost things.  We have infrastructure satellites that use ion drives, wireless energy transfer, and gravity slingshots to boost things slowly but efficiently. We can do direct launch or send up fuel for faster needs, but we try and make sure we never need to do that. Here's our current best practices boosting pattern.

Investing in science over exponential growth was a controversy. Part of that is gambling on breakthroughs like zero point energy or reaction-less drives. Part of it is just highly valuing the quality of our environment and going for the hyper efficient thing. Some of it is "because it's cool" which does drive our lifestyles more than it ought to. (The deciding factor was the military applications, which we absolutely are not talking about unless asked point blank.)

If you look through Ailor history the most obvious divergence points relative to baseline Earth are the counter ambush and assassination of Vladimir Lenin in 1917 and the prevention of the assassination of Lincoln. If you look closer, little divergence points happened everywhere all the time though. Assassinations prevented and successful, rights movements, experimental communes. There were almost twice as many Caesars. The stars are Earth stars. The major landmasses are the same, but there's some noticeably different islands. 

That skin biota looks compatible with our ecosystem. If our oral flora isn't of interest to you how about a gut specimen that lets anyone digest cheese? We'll trade information on that and see if we converge on the same standard. If not, I think it ought to be up to the others to tie-break.

There... is a lot of data being thrown around. Upgrading computing capacity is probably a priority for everyone. 

It is pretty obvious from looking that the Kastakians don't really go in for clothes. The data banks show that some protective and warming items are used in odd circumstances but many Kastakians can't tolerate more than essentially a soft blanket with big holes in and just avoid the circumstances.

They do wear various belt rigs, satchel bags and backpacks for carrying stuff.

"That flagging convention does look useful, any ideas on how to adapt it to something that fits on a belt or bandoleer?"

The Representative reflexively pulls up the standards for flighted sophonts and flicks it over to Thessalia before sheepishly realizing that's for hexapeds and nod quadrupeds.

"Uh, you should be able to adapt that I think. I know some people use feather-paints and ribbons too if you like those better. There's a digital protocol there if you're carrying electronics."
