Which nations require the least micromanagement?

[Tuidjy]

There's also the messing with tax scales. The automatic taxes do not go
under 50%, which is a waste if your unrest is about 60%, which is quite
common with Misfortune 3.

But I recently finished a game with Misfortune 3, and 260 provinces on the map.
I do not think my micromanagement would have been any less with better luck
scales. When you have 20 teleport battles, 5 castle defenses involving 50-100
casters, and more raids/probes you can count, scales hardly matter.

Barbarians? Two mind hunts and a scout.
Unrest? Autotaxes will eventually handle it.
Twenty Fomorian thugs raiding your empire? Now that takes effort to deal with.
