[vanilla] What's the best DLC civ?

[WDVINCO]

Which DLC is the best to play as, for an inexperienced player or newbie, in Civ5?

Poland, by a wide margin. The UA gets you a whole extra policy tree by the end game, so you get to explore the game more. The UU is also lots of fun, and if you unlock Commerce (and there is no very good reason not to), then you can play with them all game long.
