I like to play games that feature country formations and, when I ran out of the obvious ones (BRA --> Germany, etc.) I started to do more challenging ones.
Form France starting as one of the French minors who happen to be vassals (Orleans, Bourbon) --> then, if you want, you can form Rev. France
Reform the Byzantine Empire as Achaea (or any Greek minor).
Reform the Ottoman Empire as an Ottoman minor (Ramazan)
Form Persia as Qara Koyunlu

I did this one in a multiplayer game once. But i raged when i found out that it didin't give me Muslim tech. (like mughals)
I can't tell if you're joking or not... :glare:
Albanians aren't Slavs.
As for goals...
Form France as Cyprus.
Or Spain as the Knights. Your choice. :happy:

In a similar vein, the Maltese are not Iberians. (The Maltese language is related to Arabic).
Form Malaya as Champa.

Oh right of course...Details! Ragusa then. Or Moldavia.
edit: Albanian is in the South Slavic culture group as far as EU3 is concerned.
Pegu; Conquer Southeast & East Asia and become Asia Russia of the sorts. Then turn your eyes toward Japan and colonizing the Pacific.
Forming Romania is probably the most difficult formation in the game. The Romanians are wedged between Poland, Ottomans and Golden Horde, you have to pray that none of your neighbors come to stomp on you, and if you do manage to unite you're still a poor nation at the wrong end of Europe to become a dominant power. At least with Ireland you are in a prime location to colonize.
Otherwise I'd say...Unite the HRE as an African/American/Asian. Mazovia and Silesia are always great choices for those with a masochistic streak.

Rebuild Alexander the Great's Empire with one of the greek culture nations, preferebly not Byzantium due to starting cores.
Heres one challenging goal control every coast then watch everyone inside battle it out
If you're playing MEIOU, you could try forming the Kalmar Union with Norway/Sweden instead of Denmark. You could also try the Anglo-French Union (or even Occitania, since England starts in the Langue d'Oc culture group) which can be difficult if you don't curb-stomp France early on.
But really, there is -soooo- much stuff to do in MEIOU. It's crazy.

Many of these are really grindy. Every coast in the world? After a wee while it'll just be a tirefull effort. I'm also not willing to start as a strong country because what's the point?
I really like the Alexander the Great idea. I tried my hand at it as Epirus -> Greece. Forming Greece gave me about 5 cores unlike forming the Byzantines which gives about 30. I still feel better about forming Greece.

A while back I had this idea about a game of Holy Roman Empire squared
1 - Start as Byzantium, true heir to the Roman Empire [Roman: 1/2]
2 - Go Catholic
3 - Become the Emperor, acquiring the Legacy of Charlemagne, and the Western Empire [Empire: 1/2]
4 - Renovatio Imperii, breaking with the concept of federalism and introducing the dominate once again [Empire: 2/2]
5 - Change government type from empire to theocracy
6 - Cause the downfall of the Papacy, and become the Pope [Holy : 1/2]
7 - Move your capital to Rome, the eternal city, conquering it if necessary [Roman: 2/2]
8 - Form the KoG! [Holy: 2/2]
Now you are twice-fold holy, as the papacy and Kingdom of God, totally Roman, as Byzantine and having the capital in Rome and a double Emperor - uniting the generally hereditary Eastern Empire and the generally elective Western one.
As a further bonus you have harnessed the power, and thus grayed out, the two main political entities in Europe.
Of course this game can be played in Divine Wind, and I am not sure about any mods.
What's more, when I firstly gave this Idea I promised that if anybody does an aar about this I am going to change my epic dragon banner to the flag of Suahili. The bet still stands

Start as France. Go fully decentralized, full serfdom, full narrowminded and full quantity. Disband the HRE without cbs and break truces.
Have you played many games as a Native American nation? Surviving the Europeans' QFTNW is pretty straightforward. If you play MEIOU, form the North Sea Empire as Holstein or Gotland.

Don't forget Italy as one of the Greek crusaders.
