WRONG!
Spartans war not monotheistic, and certainly were not theocratic. Spartans were very much about functionality and NOT beauty, obsessed with military arts.
Amarr are monotheistic, theocratic, very much about having a beautiful aesthetic , and obsessed with their god.
Clearly no comparison is perfect, but this isn't even close. Amarr is more like a mix between the Roman Empire and Europore during the crusades.

No the Minmatar aren't adequately represented by the Spartans because the Spartans were notorious users of slave labour and rigid closed social castes.

Ugh no no no
Amarrians: crusaders
Gallente: French and Americans
Minmatar: Space Vikings ( for the love a god they have a ship named ragnorok)
Caldari: Industrial china( since they have a low value for human life)

That I believe is the Achura religion is it not, I'm not wholly familiar with it but the Caldari practice ancestor worship and spiritualism depending on which sect of the spiritualists you talk to.
Yun Hee would be best to describe this, he knows every facet of the Caldari spiritualism.

Nothing adequately represents the Minmatar.
They beat slavery and doesn't afraid of anything.

Amarrians are closer to the Persians during one do their peaks. The Jove are definitely closer to the Spartans, at a least when measured by individual ship firepower. The comparisons fall apart some because at what could have been another Battle of Thermopaly the Jovians beat a much larger Amaran Armada that was sent to teach them a lesson.

Erm, far from all caldari have asian features (only the achura does, while the civire look more like europeans). It's more like Caldari = the axis forces of WW2 (Germany, Japan etc.) but with a more capitalistic spin than fascist... In Space  Its not that the are represented in EVE by physical features but there are a great many aspects of an industrial Japanese society as well as colonial Europeans in America. The only reason you might have believed that about the Caldari is the recent period of state political control under Tibus Heth who while being rather.....unstable did indeed bring back the notions of meritocracy and corporate pride. Currently now the 8 CEO of the Megacorporations rule the State once again.
No the reason I believe that is because I look at the obvious sources that ccp has taken inspiration from when creating the caldari in terms of aestethics, culture etc.
But I like the fact that Caldari are a bunch of hypercaptalist space-*****. I have a soft spot for the Naziesque and militant in games, which is why I love the Imperium of Man in Warhammer 40.000 (although Amarr seem closer to them), the Helghast in Killzone etc.
The old "american good guys/heroes"-trope is just sooo boring and uninteresting compared to hardcore space-*****.
