Since some culture bonuses aren't nearly as good as other in terms of pure gameplay meta as others.
Example - Sturgians 20% movement bonus in snow compared to Vlandians 20% more EXP from battles.
I suggest that for more than just pure roleplay purposes that whatever culture you pick gives a initial bonus to reputation for all lords that share your same culture. Maybe a +10 or something just to make picking a somewhat less useful culture bonus a little more appealing. Maybe also whatever culture you pick you can start out in their territory and not middle of the map.
