There is nothing sacred about Civilization V's Deity difficulty

I like my strategies grand and my city names grander.
I have won the occasional game of Civilization V on Prince difficulty so how much harder can Deity be, really? On a Huge map with 11 other AI players, can I build a society that will stand the test of time? Almost certainly not but if there's one thing French people are famous for it's losing with panache.
