"Ah, yes, of course! The capitol was created around time index 2503054.9000, or... well a long time ago, by your time. Our time system predates yours, I'm afraid so it's somewhat hard to convert... Nonetheless, the capitol was created around 10,000 years ago, as you see it now. It's undergone many updates overt time, but this is where the birth of the URF arose from..."
"The Capitol itself was constructed artificially over many hundreds of years, designed to incorporate an ecologically-centric design, creatign pathways for wildlife, and generating greenery to promote oxygen production. The city itself covers the entire planet, so we had to be very mindful of how to proceed."
As they proceeded to the space elevator, the diplomat could indeed see that the planet had a single city, stretching across the entirety of the world. It must have been strange, to see such a low-rise city, spread out so far...
By the time they had made it down to the surface, about a 5 hour ride, they entered the central hub, before they entered a tram to the diplomatic terminal, where they attracted some stares. Most rathenkans had seen aliens, but nothing like the Yamataians. It was intriuging to them, but nonetheless, it wasn't a perturbed sort of stare. More one of innate curiosity.
Peculiarly, everyone here had a small badge on their lapel, with a certain colour and number on it. The guide had it as well.
In fact, not long after Ranga could notice, the Random Alien guide handed the Yamataian Diplomat their own, along with a small white metal card, with a blue and yellow stripe. As they smiled, they said, "This is your Universal Score Card. You have to wear the badge at all times, and the card will provide you access to whatever services you may need. I'm afraid this is not... optional..."
"We should be arriving at the diplomatic terminal soon. I understand that many foreigners are often irritated by the system, but you'll get used to it. I promise."
