Well, Austria is such a given for me (the Heir system and the HRE options are both sexy), that I might just have to resist and try either Genoa or Venice. I've owned the game for a year and a half, and I've never been a Republic!
Sweden or a 1-3 province minor.
Will probably restrict myself to only attack (and maybe also only take provinces) with valid CB, so maybe Byzantium?

Serbia I think, but if that ends early and disastrously (as it probably will), then I think I'll give Japan a go
The Incas. It's one of favorite campaigns and it will be interesting to see how HttT affects them.
I'm eager to give the Despotate of Epirus a spin
The Angevins. Over the years they've developed into my favorite country to play.
The question is whether I'll start with King Ladislao in Naples or King Rene in Provence.
Ladislao was pretty cool. Conquered Rome with the permission of the Antipope and such... but Rene was in personal union with Naples, Provence, Lorraine, and Bar.
Plus, if I play Rene in Provence I get to be part of the HRE... so that'll be fun.
I will try with a dutch country like gelre, utrecht or friesland. Lets get some risk!!!!!! France is comingggg........... :rofl:
Hansa -- but only for the one day it takes me to release Hamburg and play them instead.
Spain form 1527. I have been meaning to for a while. But before when i tried i spent all my time hunting pirates. Also it will be a good chance to watch the AI handle the Reforms.
Hungary, taking Austria's place in the HRE and then crushing the Ottomans!
After that, Burgundy, to see how I fare against the BBB.
Last but not least, Jerusalem. Surprised that nobody's picked them yet.

I've been debating this with my wife, (I finally convinced her to play multiplayer with me because she gets so mad at me playing the game all the time, she actually enjoys it!)
A.) Holland > HRE Emperor > Form Netherlands > Colonize the world
B.) Austria > HRE Emperor > Form Germany > Kick some "blue blob" butt
C.) Portugal > Colonize the world

Probably Norway, see if it's any easier to play as norway in the new expansion, fuck sweden
after that, probably hungary or austria.

Byzantium following Brother Bean's example. Maybe I'll finally succeed in surviving as them.
Then it may be Austria to try out the new HRE and Papacy in a proper way instead of cheating like I did in the demo.

+1

and maybe Tunisia... I want to try out the new military westernization

Byzantium. Then, when I fail, Byzantium again. Repeat the second sentence until success is achieved.
Austria.
I will try to learn new features with old Habsburg "go forth and multiply" strategy.

I'll do Byzantium, but not in his "grab everything everywhere" way. What HTTT offers which I'm really looking forward to is the ability to lovingly develop your economy in a more meaningful way than just building lots of manufactories. I want a limited Empire based in the Eastern Med, with at least a foothold in Italy, and of course Jerusalem. But otherwise it will be a matter of extensive road and postal networks, tons of Universities (especially Athens and Rhodes,) and land reform throughout all the greek-speaking world. Also, the national focus means I can recreate Magna Graecia in southern Italy-- hey, colonists are useful to non-new-world nations now!
