Does anyone actually enjoy playing the US?

Title. I tried every major and almost all have some fun to them. You can make plays more challenging by adhering to historical plays or do alternate routes. My fav is probably Italy because it sucks in a fun way.

But my god, is the US insanely boring. Oh look, here's 800 factories with a supposed debuff that you get rid of by going down this braindead simple focus tree. And then you win. Gg

There's admittedly one interesting concept. A second civil war with restoration of confederacy. But guess what? NO FOCUS TREE FOR THAT.

I'd probably prefer to do a Switzerland playthrough than an American one. At least the anger is some emotion, unlike with bored steamrolling.

Any tips on how to make US playthrough fun? Maybe there's some option I missed. Or should one just forget it exists?
