Do these just show how much you've played a certain race or what?

Yeah, pretty much.

Actually, it's a good thing IMO... if they actually had any significant impact on the game, that would mean that some races start out with an advantage just because you played them more, which reeks to me of creeping munchkinism...

They were originally supposed to give some sort of bonus to your empire; but it was decided that it would be too easy to exploit this in not only single player but also multiplayer, so Aaron took it out.

I had that once. A course of antibiotics cleared it right up.
