Much like with the Idea Suggestion Compilation Thread, this thread will be one for achievements; both for archiving purposes and to hopefully help the devs and other user to find them easier. I'll do my best to copy any ones I see here, but if I've missed any or if you have any ideas of your own, please feel free to contribute (specific details would be appreciated)!

Reactions:
Dare To Go Dutch - Form the Netherlands as East Frisia.
Good Cop, Bad Cop - Take on another nation's debt while having less than -5 diplomatic reputation.
I Don't Need No Allies - Win a defensive coalition war without any allies.
Schoolyard Bully - Warn 10 other countries at once.
Swiping Left - Execute a consort who is infertile.
The Hansa Within Me - As Lubeck, have the highest trade income in the world.
Emenation - Form Yemen and have Bremen as a subject.
Coal For My Machines Of War - Form Germany and own every coal-producing province in the world.
To Davy Jones's Locker! - Sink over 100 enemy ships in a single engagement.
The Swiss Guard - Hire condottieri from Switzerland.

Octo Decies Deos Vult
As Japan with Shinto, become the target of crusade, and conquer these provinces as cores, and convert them into Shinto.
  • Rome
  • Constantinople
  • Jerusalem
  • Mecca
Do not allow any heathen or heretic province within Japan region. Whole provinces in Japan region must be Shinto.

(Traditionally in Japan, it is said there are 'Eight hundred of Gods(八百万神)'.
I'm not sure "Octo Decies Deos Vult" can be correct Latin traslation of "Eight hundred of Gods will".)​

Tenson Korin of Tengri
Starting as any steppe nomad nation, from Japan with Tengri as its state religion, and have Shinto as the second religion.

(Tenson Korin(天孫降臨, literally 'the descent to earth of the grandson of sky') is an important episode in Japanese mythology, and 'Tengri' means 'sky (god)' in Mongolian. )​

Wait, that's illegal

Starting as Ming, form Qing

Ming is unable to form Manchu(which is required to form Qing) due to being an excluded nation in the requirements to form Manchu(much like how Ottomans are unable to form Byzantium) and the end game tags introduced in 1.26 further exclude Ming from forming Qing(since Ming is an end game tag and thus can't form any nation). This will have to be done by releasing and playing as a vassal and going through the process to form Manchu and Qing.

Sick Sikh Siak

As Siak, become Sikh and have the Influenzia modifier in all of your provinces.

Super Chile

As Chile, own the entire West coast of the Americas(from Alaska down to Patagonia).

Indus Mare Nostrum

Starting as Sindh, form Hindustan/Bharat and own the entire Indian Ocean coastline

Similar to the Mare Nostrum achievement but for the Indian Ocean and starting as Sindh(the nation at the end of the Indus River). Could also just require being Bharat/Hindustan and owning the Indian Ocean coastline.
 
Wanna have some red tea flavored baguette?
As France form Great Britain.
(In East Asia, it's not 'black tea'. It is Red Tea (紅茶 / reads 'Kocha' in Japan, and 'Hong Cha' in China) )


Tales of Red islands and Blue blobs
You must play as one of them​
  • Japan
  • Great Britain
  • France
  • Korea
Then, make both 'Japan-Great Britain' and 'France-Korea' alliance happened, and be in the war each other.
Not only both Japan-Great Britain, and France-Korea share similar national colors (red & blue) each other, but share many common points. (For example, both Great Britain and Japan are maritime island countires, etc...)

Bourbon paying too big price for Alsace-Lorraine
As France, form Germany while owning Alsace-Lorraine as cores.​

United Kingdom of Great Prussia
As Prussia, form Great Britain while keeping Prussian NI.​

(Call for pizza) As any nation get the call for peace while occupying Napoli
(Alphabetti Spaghetti) As an italian culture nation, own or have a subject own a province starting with each letter of the alphabet
(Pocahontas) As a native american nation have a female ruler and a marriage with any christian nation
(Ludicrous Speed!) Have an admiral with 5+ manoeuvre skill
(Freeeeeedom!) As Gealdom own all of scotland and northern England
(Coal story bruh) Own or have a subject owning at least 10 coal provinces
(Thats a spicy meat-a-ball!) As an italian culture nation own the spice islands
(Hamburgers anyone?) As Hamburg get the bonus for trading in Livestock

(Blue steel, so hot right now!) Scorch a province producing iron

Danubian Empire

As Baden, own all provinces through which the Danube flows.

Danube originates in Baden as a confluence of the Brigach and Berg rivers if i recall correctly

Sack of Rome

While being the Emperor of HRE, capture Rome only using mercenaries.

Reffering to the Sack of Rome by mutinious landsknecht of Charles V in 1527

Legacy of Carantania

As Celje (Cilli), conquer all Austrian provinces and convert them to Slovenian culture.

Carantania was a Slavic country in the 7th century spanning much of present day Austria and Slovenia
 
(Hamburgers anyone?) As Hamburg get the bonus for trading in Livestock

This one kind of already exists in a way...

To add to the suggestions list:
Crocodile Hunter - As Australia, own or have a subject own the entirety of Florida.
 
the peaceful protest thing should really be tied to a specific nation otherwise it's really just free and will almost automatically be picked up at some point by many people not even paying attention.

That was intended. Sometimes the game could do with some generic achievements, rather than hyper-specific ones. It's always fun when you're just playing normally and suddenly pop an achievement for something random :)

But if I were to suggest a nation for this particular one, perhaps Switzerland?

The people of Benin are known as the Edo people. Musashi province is the location of modern-day Tokyo, also known as Edo during the Tokugawa shogunate.

Jerusalem of the East
As Jerusalem, own Pyeongyang and convert it to the Christian religious group.
Pyeongyang was once known as the "Jerusalem of the East", as it was once the historical center of Christianity in Korea.
