I would suggest Midgard. Einhere spam is incredibly easy to do, and leads to easy expansion. You _can_ look into Blood, but don't have to. You _can_ do buffing by Volvas, or Battlemagic from the Galdermen, but don't have. Basically, this is a nation that you can give to a newbie and expect them to do well, but also something they can progress with for more than a few games.

As an added bonus, there is an incredibly well written and insightful guide for Midgard. It really is a work art, so check it out, newbies and pros alike.
