Japan has a special place in my heart, because Bushido is quite possibly the most overpowered Civilization bonus in the game for military. It means I could go for Diplo victory, a huge time sink, and only need less than one unit per city. England is fun, too, because I love me some Navy, but in terms of AI, Elizabeth is a bitch. And Russia is nice, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. Persia can be fun, especially if you play on the lowest level of difficulty and on a dual Pangaea map, but only for going for Culture (1971 was win I won my Culture game).
