has to be Genoa for me, I like the possibilities and early game challenges of holding a multi-cultural nation with poor religious unity together, although Mongolia is only second because the religion is terrible

These are the countries I was pleased to play more than once :
Korea - My first campaigns in euiv back in very early version, conquering Ming with the help of god king feels so good.
Hansa - Its location is very nice for nation forming. I formed Netherland in old version, and I formed Poland in 1.12. Republic is op.
Ottomans - It's op kebab. First campaign was orthodox revoking in early 1500. Second was my first one-tag wc in 1.12.

Staying Free City as Frankfurt (I would probably select Hamburg over it in 1.14)

The knights, always thought they were cool since EU2 almost 10 years ago

Something about Hungary and pushing back the Ottomans is always fun, as well as pushing west!
I love Castile/Spain second because of the vast amount of things that i can do, and cause its fun to own 1/3 the world easily.
Champa the lonely Buddhist in Indochina one of my favorite from EU3 and still one i enjoy to play in EU4.

Genoa: Best for building a trade empire that spans the whole world. Hansa is fun, too but it's always the same and you are op as hell.
Venice: Starts reasonable strong not OP though, grows weaker over time because NIs. Love to play them and let vassals do the fighting. Also Monarch-Point monster. No other tag can farm them like Venice. Probably best for playing a vertical game, which i like.
Friesland: Republican start, later NED
I find it hard to really like any ROTW tag for more than 1-2 playthroughs. Either you start out overpowered outright (Japan, Bahmanis, Ming, Timurids....) or you will be after 50-100 years even if you take it slow because there is usually only 1 big target to take out, after which you take its place and end up westernizing and doing a WCesque game. North Africa is an exception but that's almost Europe. In Europe you just have more options. The first years as Japan, Daimyo or one of the Indian God-Kings are a blast though.

Savoy->Sardinia-Piedmont. The best color of the game.
Granada->Andalucía.
Naples->Italy.

1. Novgorod (favourite early game strategy: Trade War on Ragusa->Serbia->Venice/Byzantium. Tsargrad is ours!)
2. Byzantium
3. Dutch minors

I love the idea of growing enough to proclaim and win my own crusades, also has a decent position for an indian trade empire if you take egypt et al. Lot of flexibility in things that aren't religion.

Hamburg, I played a tall hamburg game where I only ruled northern coastline up to east frisia of Germany then had a Prussia march(so about 80k troops at home,40k mine, 40k theirs) and I had a colonial Empire as well.(colonized most of Canada,midwest and Thirteeen colonies, due to me staying tall I was having issues keeping them under control)
I then made it my mission to save the hindus in India so I established the IndienKorps and started intervening in india while using Ceylon and Bangladesh as a base.
Another amazing game was Mewar, they're a blast to play. I conquered most of india(left tamil country alone had an ally there,) and Persia then duked it out with the ottomans at the endgame.
