What's a good starting nation for newbies?

Foodstamp is right. Ermor is a fun one to experiment with different strats with because you're pretty much unkillable. The AI just can't push very far into your territory when their whole army is starved and diseased in a couple of turns.

Only LA Ermor is really different to play. EA Ermor is a very ordinary nation, MA something in between.

But EA isn't too friendly on new player, what with your best mages being 60(46).
And I agree with Gandalf on LA Ermor, while it may be a lot easier to win against the AI, it definitely doesn't make you a better player. I played alot with Ashen Empire Ermor when I started with Dom2 (only because of the flavour, didn't know it was uber against the AI) and it took me very long to get better with playing "normal" nations.
Heck, I still suck

EDIT: stupid typo made my post make no sense.
