Roman Pol 

The Romans were constantly at each other's throats, and the rich Patrician class using near-constant foreign wars as an excuse to plaster over economic inequality, class divides & representation (hello, modern parallels) was as much a reason for early expansion as advantages in infrastructure/military- let alone 'character'.

So yeah, I have no time for "So brave, much solidarity, never back down! (except for..)"

(Or worse, whig history attributing their dominance to ~Democracy Magic~)
