Not a specific tag but american natives, Japanese Daimyos and HRE OPM are probably the most fun.
Aside from those my favorite small nation is Nepal. You start surrounded by stronger nations, so you will have a good 80 years in the beginning where you are fighting as the underdog, using diplomacy to secure yourself and being opportunistic with your offensive wars.
After that you enjoy one of the strongest mil idea sets and can enjoy India with it's (almost) irrelevant AE.

Dahomey was one of my most enjoyable game your poor as shit and extremely weak and have poor alliance options.
For Strongest Ideas though I would say Taungoo has the best.

Lübeck is my favorite OPM. It’s fun in MP to try and stretch your influence across the different trade regions while appeasing the larger players. Money can actually be used to influence events that way, and it’s fun making that much money while being so small.

Hamburg is the strongest I think.

I'd wager that Ryukyu is the most played (and also a lot of fun).
