This!
In one of my Civ IV games all of the civs were prevented from fully exploring the world by non-stop backstabbing and DoWs. The first unit that I could spare for exploration was a Ship of the Line - that was how long the wars had gone on. My vessel eventually discovered a very large island where the Barbs had gone unmolested throughout the game. They['d built two well placed and heavily fortified towns with appropriate tile development and up to snuff military units. It was an amazing sight to see.
I recount this experience because I'd like to see the same sort of thing, either via the Barbs or the CSs be possible in Civ V. At present, the Barbs are targets of opportunity and the CSs are there to be taken advantage of. A late blooming society strong enough to make a difference, whether for good or ill, would spice up the game considerably for me. Go ahead on and give them insane advantages up to and including no happy cap and resourceless builds. I'd love it.
