Ah, I forgot to say that I strongly appreciate the contributions of PBrower2a to this thread. But I disagree with the idea that ancient and medieval societies cannot be fit into my diagram.
-Ancient Egypt would be a Theocracy, and so would be the Maya states
-China, as I said, would be a Confucian philosophocracy which I regard as a special case of Theocracy. Then Taoism is very similar to Inclusivism, with its reverence for nature, spontaneity and softness.
-The city republics of Ancient Greece and Italy would be in the Nationalist sector. Aristotle is a prime example of a moderate democratic Nationalist of ancient Greece.
-The Hellenistic kingdoms and Roman Empire were certainly plutocratic, and quite inclusive culturally. I suspect they could fit in the Yellow sector, closer to Purple than Blue.
-Medieval Catholic kingdoms were theocracies and so were some Protestant republics like Calvin's Geneva, which seems rather hardcore. The wars between Protestantism and Catholicism were between Yellow-tinged Blue and pure Blue.
