What factors are involved in opponent AI ratings?

The ratings that show up on the screen.  Number of cities and number of units are factors.  Anything else?  Can't say I've looked at the code.

The code is hidden, but I'm sure the actual strength of your economy is a variable.

I wonder if a strong economy could even be a negative, in the sense that the AI feels more inclined to hit you up for money if you have a lot lying around.  This has been an issue in Civ IV.  I've rushed buildings to keep it low, so as not to attract the attention of my leader's acquisitive neighbors.
