Hello, I have seen a lot of threads on this site that were trying to guess what civs should be added in the xpack. I decided to write a formula that calculates, not the most likely but the best civilizations to add.
Note: AGE means at greatest extent
D: Duration, time in years that the civ existed for
MB: Modern bonus, to account for the fact that civilizations that exist today won't magically disappear tomorrow it is equal to:
1: if civ does not exist in any form
1.33: if civ exists as a different country that is related to the original civ
1.67: if civ exists as the same country but with a different type of government
2: if civ exists in the same form (not the same land, just the same type of government, de facto same country) that it was AGE
C: number of current civs on the same continent
PC: modern population of continent in billions
CH: UNESCO heritage sites in civ AGE
Average score (use this as a reference for what's a "good" or "bad" civ): 1128 (w/o China or Rome)
Now in order of points
30. Texas: 5.6
29. New Zealand: 18
28. Zulu Empire: 49
27. Yugoslavia: 82
26. Australia: 100
25. Polynesian Empire: 117

Note: AGE means at greatest extent
Code:
