Aragon. Relatively close to every institution spawn. Ally France and do whatever you want. Preferably form Rome.
So my Antemoro game got boring when I blobbed big enough that the Ottomans rivalled me and I proceeded to just build up my force limit until I could overwhelm them with sheer numbers. Compounding this was the fact that I triggered a mini-renaissance in my own lands via MP-dumping, then colonising near the Europeans to grab Colonialism to allow me to keep up with the institutions and frankly the whole game kinda spiralled out of control by the time the printing press arrived.
So yeah. I'm after a new mission. Preferably one with an achievement attached (please assign).

Please not too hard but not too easy
Got Ethopia-stomped. Great start to my ownership of RoM! (But thanks for giving me incentive to actually get the DLC, since I was putting it off. When faced with a country who could get major RoM bonuses I caved)Kaffa
To BossGnome I suggest the Palatinate, a smaller German state, but I've always found it fun and to have multiple possibilities.
Experience 1.18 fo' real, Brandenburg. Go easy on me whoever......
BTW, I'm playing a Brandenburg game, and an Ottoman game so none of them, and personally, I like moderately powerful nations to play as.
Brunin. Eat all the valuable goods! I would prefer a nation that doesn't require dlc besides art of war to be fun and isn't super hard but is interesting(not castille brunin or asutria)Switzerland! They have all the benefits: they're in a central position, so easier to get institutions, which is boosted by their -10% dev cost idea. Also, they're completely in the mountains with -20% fort maintenance. With the new forts changes, you are literally unconquerable. AND they start as an administrative republic, which means you're OP by default, monarch point wise.
Is it still okay without RoM?Butua > Rozwi Empire (and beyond!)
Surprisingly fun game, conquered most of east and central Africa until I got too greedy and ran into coalition and OE problems. Bonus points for staying fetishist and unlocking cults.
