China, because it was the longest lasting civilization in world history, bar none.

It's China vs. Japan obviously.
UP: Japan > China. Both awesome, but Japan's UP is one of the most overpowered in this game and makes them truly invincible. China's UP is less visible and becomes a plain tech rate boost after a while in Human hands.
UB: China > Japan. China's UB is actually real, and has a real and important effect on game play. Neither can be said of Japan's UB.
UU: China = Japan. Both are there mostly for flavor (and they are both good for this purpose), as neither civ needs a UU at all for different reasons.
UHVs: China > Japan. Japan has 1 interesting UHV, the expansion one. The other 2 UHVs are time wasters, nothing more (especially "first to finish tech tree - ewww"). All 3 of China's UHVs are balanced and yet challenging.
Vote goes to China. IMO the definitive 3000BC civ along with Rome.

Oh, that's actually really hard.
I'm going to cast my vote for... Maya.

They have the time to shape the histroy of the New World in whatever way you choose, which can be a lot of fun.

^ Well, the Maya are too isolated from other civs so it's not that interesting to me. The Aztecs are also isolated but their UP makes fighting Barbarians much more fun. And the Incan UP/UB/Stability Map allows you to set up an impenetrable defense system. With the Maya fighting endless waves of Dog Soldiers is just incredibly tedious. Sure you can occasionally snatch Great Library but that's about the only highlight of Maya's game and not by design.
So usually if I want to play as a native American civ I go for Aztecs or Inca. Less time spent laboring alone in the dark.
It's nobody's fault really. The Mayans deserve to be included and this is really close to the best way to represent them.
