Roleplaying Faction

I know there is a thread out about the "Funnest Faction" but I'm wondering which factions are the funnest to roleplay as and why? I've been aching to roleplay as another faction (just finished Makedonia) and I was wondering which would be really interesting. Of course, add in what you do to roleplay and what really gets you into the mood to play a certain faction.

edit: Forgot to mention why I enjoyed Makedonia so much! The roleplay aspects for Makedonia are pretty straightforward with the idea of reclaiming Alexander's empire and his body from the tomb. I only let Makedones govern the homeland states and my generals usually consisted of the other ethnicities (except for when my faction heir, Perseus, waged a 50+ year war against AS with his son har har)...but yeah, it was fun. I really felt like a large and powerful empire waging war against another super power. Lots of fun!

Any faction can be roleplayed to some extent, although I've found factions which we're traditionally more democratic i.e. had a senate or something similiar are always good. Factions like Qarthadastim, Romani, and KH aren't so much based on one family, so you can roleplay family struggles.

Then again, factions like AS and Ptolemaioi can be fun because you can try to make your dynasty last as long as possible, i.e. from father to son for 75 years or something like that.

Just my 2 cents.
