Besides sending messages and changing diplomacy levels, the menu can be used to see both your and an opposing empire's relative power via tech level, to see if the any of the other players are still playing, and when they last made a move.

The top of the menu shows how your are doing followed by how other empires you have met, and how they are doing.

Empire:: Simply the name of the empire.
Note:: Empires that haven't been met don't in this grid.
Alien:: A picture of what an empire's sentient beings look like.
Economic:: A number that shows the amount of resources available to them. It is determined in the same way as the tech level is determined for your empire. Your empire's tech level is available at the Info Menu.
Military:: A number that shows how much of an armada they have built up over the course of the game. Your empire's military level is available at the Info Menu.
They Offer:: This is what they offer you. Either (War, Truce, Trade, or Alliance)
You Offer:: This is what you offer them.
Note:: They Offer and You Offer only change on an update.
Status:: This shows what your relationship is with this empire.
Note:: There are four different states of war:

Status	What this means
War	All out war! You can nuke their systems, invade their home world, fight their ships. And your enemy is looking to do the same.
Truce	Temporary peace. Neither of you can take aggressive action against the other until at least the next turn.
Trade	Both empires are on good terms. For an empire to downgrade from this status to war will take at least two updates. Empires who trade with one another increase their resources. Your usable resources will be equal to your actual resources[1.0+0.1(Number of empires trading with you)] or a 10 percent increase for each empire with which you are trading.
Alliance	Your empires are working together against a common foe. It is possible for you to have a co-operative or shared win. You also receive the benefits of trade.

Access:: Shows the last time an empire has accessed a menu.
Ready:: Shows if that empire is ready for an update.
You can see the empires overall stats.
Note:: After an empire has been stagnant for 12 updates, they fall into ruin and their home world is destroyed.

The message area below allows you to choose whom you want to send a message to. When the message is sent, the diplomacy screen returns and says to whom your message was sent.
