Fun post, but I'd argue that china chose is somewhere between the Order and Autocracy ideologies. For starters, while Mao Zedong laid a different set of plans (more similar to the Order branch of Civ5) than most rebel leaders, he was, for the most part, an autocratic leader.[1] They've had a more democratic approach as of late, but it appears that Xi Jinping seems to be turning China into an autocracy once again[2]. It's very interesting to me because for the most part, past Autocratic methods put military development at the forefront and left Technological development as more an afterthought. This seems pretty contradictory to the groundwork China has been laying during the past 30 or so years, placing a lot of value in M&S and installing technocrats to leadership positions[3].
