Using correct totals from @Mediocrity's post because @qadams seems to have used an old list. (I added @qadams's votes to this correct and up to date list:

America (Hard Times Come Again No More) - 14
Arabia (Üsküdara) - 20
Brazil (Brejeiro) - 3
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 19
China (Jasmine Flower) - 22
Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 15
Egypt (El Helwa Di) - 17
England (Scarborough Fair) - 9 (12 - 3) Bleh.
France (Tourdion: Quand je bois du vin clairet) - 19
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 16
Germany (Ich hab die Nacht geträumet) - 8
Greece (Epitaph of Seikilos) - 22
Hungary (Hej Dunáról fúj a szél; Cinege, Cinege) - 20
Inca (Siempre macho) - 20
India (Vaishnav Jana to tene) - 20
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 18
Khmer (Khmer Rourm Sam Mawgee) - 11
Kongo (Banaha) - 20
Korea (Arirang) - 14
Macedon (Tino Mori) - 16 (15 + 1) Sorry not sorry, this is one of the best themes in the game. It has exotic, somewhat foreboding blends of Turkish/MiddleEastern music blended into the upbeat Greek winds that well represents the powerful Macedonian expansion into Eastern territories that was also accompanied by the literal Hellenistic Fusion and diverse mesh and spread of Greek Culture throughout the Mediterranean that laid the foundation for the Roman Empire. Aristotle, Euclid, Archimedes.. you can bet Greeks would be upbeat during the time.

America (Hard Times Come Again No More) - 14
Arabia (Üsküdara) - 20
Brazil (Brejeiro) - 0 (3-3) ELIMINATED It almost sounds like a parody of Brazilian music. Not my least favorite theme, but a missed opportunity to showcase something really beautiful.

Maori (Pōkarekare Ana; Ka Mate) - 15 (14+1) I agree, Maori and America have fallen too low in rankings. You might not love the haka, but there’s no denying the loveliness of the melody. I find myself humming this all the time!

France (Tourdion: Quand je bois du vin clairet) - 19
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 17 (16 + 1) As a comment on the Atomic version on youtube: Is this chanting for Jesus, or for the God Emperor of the Imperium of Mankind? I think it's the latter. The song scales well across eras and sounds amazing in the Atomic making me feel like I'm playing some modern spacefaring futurist Christan empire haha.

Maori (Pōkarekare Ana; Ka Mate) - 12 (15-3) - my ears bleed each time they are assaulted by the haka. Music in strategy games should have no vocals, especially when they are pretty much reduced to shouting.

Kongo (Banaha) - 20
Korea (Arirang) - 12(11+1) I feel like science being generated when playing this, simply because on Civ 4 and 5 Korea is also an extremely science-based(also extremely strong since the most important factor has always been science) Civ. And for Korea this music is continue to be used again and again. In Civ, Arirang means science, the power of Civilization.

Maori (Pōkarekare Ana; Ka Mate) - 13 (12 + 1) Where is it written that strategy games can't have vocals in their music? The defining anthem of this series is vocal.
Mapuche (Traditional Mapuche Song) - 17 (20 - 3) Had to look it up, and still didn't recognize it. Utterly forgettable.

America (Hard Times Come Again No More) - 16 (15 + 1) One of my favorites. It perfectly captures the old American feeling. It's also very pleasant to listen to! I really don't understand the "it could have been so much better" criticism. Better in what way? Which songs would you have used?

America (Hard Times Come Again No More) - 16 Honestly which songs would you guys have used rather than this one. Honestly, I think it fits due to the American Dream: a story of rags to riches
Arabia (Üsküdara) - 20
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 19
China (Jasmine Flower) - 19
Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 10 (9+1) I refuse to let Cree get this low. The soundtrack is epic to a point where a majority of the game's soundtrack seems weak in comparison. It is this theme that pushed me to be hyped for new DLC not for their gameplay, but rather for their soundtracks, because good lord did they raise the bar with this one.

England (Scarborough Fair) - 10
France (Tourdion: Quand je bois du vin clairet) - 19

Maori (Pōkarekare Ana; Ka Mate) - 13+1=14 - I strongly disagree with the user saying that vocals have no place in video game music. Vocals are what spices themes up greatly, in some cases, themes are relying on them to have their charm. Say, Ottoman themes, would probably still sound great, but it's the vocals at the end of the industrial and atomic versions that help form the grand janissary finale of these. Then we have throat singing, which is what makes the Mongolian themes very unique as opposed to any other theme. Cree themes, while I dislike the chanting of ancient and medieval themes, have the strength of the chants in the latter two. Zulu and Georgian themes are fully built on singing, one being a nice and cheerful song, the other having a grand, awe-inspiring feel to them. And then we have the opening theme of the game, Sogno di Volare, being built on vocals, too. Now, to Maori themes. I have already expressed that I like memorable and exotic sounding themes. Some people might disagree with me, but I enjoy both parts of the theme equally well. Pokarekare Ana is a very cheerful sounding song, making me imagine the beauty of New Zealand's nature, with the Ka Mate part sounding very adventurous and strong. One of the very few themes where the Atomic version sounds the best to me.
Mapuche (Traditional Mapuche Song) - 17-3=14 - Rather uninteresting theme. I remember how it sounds, but it doesn't really invoke any imagery in me. It just goes and goes, until it ends...
