Currently: There are three ideologies: "Freedom", "Order" and "Autocracy".
VP Congress: Session 6, Proposal 55
Discussion Thread: (6-55) Rename The Autocracy Ideology To Might
Proposer: @Hinin
Sponsor(s): @Recursive
Proposal Details
Rename "Autocracy" into "Might".
Rationale : The two other ideologies are named after quite vague political notions, while "Autocracy" is much more focused, using a term more akin to "Democracy" or "Oligarchy" which creates a weird dissonance.
My first choice whould have been to replace "Autocracy" by "Authority", but it is already taken, so "Might" comes just next.
VP Congress: Session 6, Proposal 55a
Discussion Thread: (6-55a) Rename Ideologies, Authority Tree and Liberty Policy
Proposer: @Recursive
Sponsor(s): @Recursive
Proposal Details
Combination proposal based on the feedback of several forumgoers.
Liberty: instead of 'Freedom' to represent political and economic liberalism. It is true that this is the vanilla name for Progress, but VP is such a different game from vanilla that it'll probably be fine.
Equity: instead of 'Order'. Unlike Equality, it has less overlap with the social equality espoused by political liberalism.
Authority: instead of 'Autocracy', as per the proposal.
Might: instead of 'Authority'. It's better representative of what Authority civs do, and is more akin to "Tradition" and "Progress" as an ancient society's overarching value than "Authority" is. It also doesn't require any change to the Honor policy.
Liberty (Progress policy): Reverted to its BNW name and Civilopedia entry, "Citizenship".
