Well i've tried all the 6 majors and Hungary and Romania and China however when I look back at least 90% of my games was Germany. Mainly WW2, then Kaiserreich, then WW1 and then come the others.
I will never understand why people play as America, it's like playing with all the cheats on, huge MP plus economy, no threatening enemies, great allies, great techteams.

If you limit yourself a bit, like don't build IC and don't build units before the war (except a bit of navy) it will be quite fun. Boosts to Soviet post-war AI (like making them build nukes) makes WW3 fun as well especially if you let them take over Europe.
I tend to end up going Germany in the 1st World War, France in WW2.
EDIT: I suppose I should probably explain why. Germany... well, they're a powerful land country (not a fan of naval combat) and I like trying to win in different ways as them. As for France, I like the challenge of holding back the German steamroller come 1940, but it isn't nigh impossible like defending Poland.
Soviet Union, mainly...i like to win without too much effort ! Also like to try Germany for a bigger challenge, France or Italy for the lot of options you have. I know Japan is quite a challenge and a fun choice, but so many troop transporting and redeploying stresses me out!
Russia in DH Full and also in Kaiserreich. Austria in Kaiserreich and Germany in World War I. I sometimes play Soviet Union. I struggle with Germany in World War II as I dont seem to be able to Blitz.
I don't usually play the same country in succession, so it's hard to guess. In WWI I like Ottomans a lot; they have just the blend of trying to stay alive and interesting avenues of success. The Raj is also a very interesting choice, but usually a bit hard for me due to the multi-tasking you'll see from managing your own flanks + sending aid to the British. If I mod the timeline a bit, I like to do Senussi/Libya; it has a very pretty shade of blue on the map, what can I say? More than that, that first war against the Italians is pretty brutal and surviving it is a good warmup for what quickly becomes a game of attrition. WWII, pick a minor, any minor. My favorite is taking X Clique in China and trying to survive or thrive - the best Unified China is one without proper cores anywhere, waha! I've also been playing Peru recently. I confess I'm not sure where or how to expand yet, or even if I should.
Where is Greece? Or Yugoslavia (Serbia in case of WW1)?
Especially first one my favorite. I hate playing majors in any paradox games.
Per aspera ad astra - so much better!
I really like to play Brazil, 'cause I like to invade Argentina. Besides, it's also cool to have the options of joining Allies (ever Commintern) or keep by my own, invading Africa or Europe in late game.
