You could try some alt-history paths (though they're usually locked behind DLC). You can do some wacky things like restoring monarchies or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, or in the new expansion restore Norse paganism in Iceland. There may be some RP opportunities there for you to get into.

Ultimately, though, HOI is a wargame that doesn't pretend to be anything else. If spending most of your time planning, preparing, and engaging in world war doesn't sound like something you want to do, then it may not be for you. You won't find any deep economy, diplomacy, or political systems that make it all that fun to stay out of the war.
