Much like with the Idea Suggestion Compilation Thread, this thread will be one for achievements; both for archiving purposes and to hopefully help the devs and other user to find them easier. I'll do my best to copy any ones I see here, but if I've missed any or if you have any ideas of your own, please feel free to contribute (specific details would be appreciated)!

Communist Germany before the Birth of Marx : As Dithmarshen form Germany
With that name, there should be the additional condition "before 1818" on there, even if that is definitely close enough to the end date to be a meme requirement. Staying a Peasants Republic should also be a requirement.
Also, shouldn't the requirement just be "Starting as a Peasants Republic" to allow Friesland and East Frisia to do it too?
 
The Last Crusade: as a Hussite nation, own Jerusalem and develop Petra to a level 3 monument. Both provinces must be Hussite.

The red Hussite cup icon could be taken for the Holy Grail, which gives the idea for this achievement.

Cursed Time Line : As Serbia :Own the Whole Turkish group with no unrest and they are still Muslim.
This is the most Cursed thing EUIV as seen : Start As Montferrat ,reform Byzantium and be a Muslim
Tartiflette : Start as Savoy and be leading in grain and livestock
If they want war , We will give them war : Strike ALL coalition members ( but without triggering the rest to come ) in differents wars before the coalition fire( Idid that in a Ethiopia Run )
Remember sack Magdeburg : As the Chief of Holy League , Loot Magdeburg
 
All The Angels: Own Arkhangelsk [Kholmogory], Krung Thep [Bangkok] and Los Angeles [Chumash] as core provinces.
 
Barbary Wars : As a Barbary Coast Nations capture an American Ship in a War
I am the One who tribute : As Tver form Russia and have the Great Horde as a vassal
The René's Strikes back : As Lorraine own all Provence core while having a René on the throne
Rashid Arabia : As Shammarr : Own all Bedouin Provinces while being allied with the Ottomans , survive until 1821.
 
Given how extreme the new version of Inward Perfection is, keeping it on all game instead of revoking and re-granting it would make for an achievement-worthy challenge. Limited it to Korea as they start with it granted in 1444:

[Pun on "Inward Perfection" and playing tall, idk]: As Korea, reach [VERY LARGE] development without revoking the Inward Perfection estate privilege.
 
"Hayastan"
Starting as Karabakh(Qara Qoyunlu vassal) form Armenia.(Not playing as a released vassal)

"Sun league"
As either Luristan(Persia), or Kumaon(India), or Timbuka(East africa) have the other two as marches with at least 300 develoment and below 50% liberty desire.
These 3 nations have very similar flags, so achievement could have potential for fun game, though I can't think of a good name or a pun for achievement.

Several achievments that would make the naval side of the game more interesting, as well as collectioning of flagships!
The names can be changed ofc.

Royal flash - have 5 captured flagships on your fleet.

Magnificent 10 - have a fleet with 10 captured flagships.

Mutual Responsibility - Capture enemy's flagship by a fleet consisting of flagships only. (That would be a very hard achievment to do, but SO much fun!)

We're commandeering it! - Capture an enemy's flagship as a Pirate nation.
