This could easily become a political discussion as to what the "state of nature is." The default economy is "Simple," I think, which pretty much means whatever you want it to mean. The next available economy is "Planned" (which needs to be nerfed) and then "Market." After that we start getting into serious made-up fiction
For government, the default is Autocracy, which is not as vague as Ec:Simple, but the next one after that is Democracy.
For society, the default is Frontier (borrowed from SMAC), which is also pretty much whatever you want it to mean. After that is Free, then Caste, which in 2200 might very well mean Brave New World-style genetics.
The Agenda civics include Survival (default), Power, Knowledge, Eudomonia...
There may also be a "Terraform" civic that gives us a diplomocacy hook for global climate change.
