Which of these authoritarian nations would be most likely to reform in terms of political freedoms, while retaining their ideological bent and name? Assume any PoD after their birth and before their death.

A politically reformed country in this sense means popular sovereignty, freedom to criticize the government, and the ability of any member of the country to (theoretically and practically) become its leader, at least on the level of contemporary non-authoritarian nations. Their "ideological bent" means that beyond anti-democracy, the majority of their old positions are retained.

Quick notes: the USSR includes the RSFSR in its lifespan, the Kingdom of Italy is from Mussolini onward, and the Republic of China is one that controls the mainland.
