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)!

Invaders from the North: Starting as a Siberian Tribe, become the Emperor of China and own all of China (The Chinese Subcontinent)

Good one, but it begs for a reference to A Song of Ice and Fire there, if I may say so.

"The Walking Winter is comming from the North"?
"The North is dark and full of errants"?
"Siberian Nights"?
"For the Khan's leisure"? (i.e. Khaleesi)
"Freeze the Horde"?
 
"Hunnic Traditions"/"Hungary for Power"/"Attila's Eternal Conquest"- as Hungary, own 300 provinces and dismantle the HRE by 1500
(Reference to the Hunnic Empire/Tribes that dominated Europe for about 99 years when Rome was still around, lead by Attila the Hun for the most part)


"Khaan Quest"/"I Khaan't Believe It!"- as Yarkand, form the Mongol Empire and own all of the old world (Afro-Eurasia)

Nobody said these achievements have to be hard, but you want it harder?

Hard Gore: Create bordergore by having 5 Land Enclaves that are not opms and not vassals inside your country.

Or an even harder version:
Harder Gore: Create bordergore by having an uninterrupted country spanning from Finistere to Sakhalin with no more than 75 provinces.

And I just came up with yet another version:
Hardest Gore: Displace 10 Nations by having them completely moved out of their original primary culture area without fully annexing or vassalizing them. (could also be called something like "Home is where the heart is")

Edit: Another Idea is "Magnum Mare Nostrum". As an Italian nation own or have a vassal/colony own all provinces bordering the pacific ocean

Vietschnitzel: Starting as Dai Viet, own Vienna and convert it to Vietnamese culture.

(I thought of this after seeing someone point out how similar "Viennese" and "Vietnamese" sound.)

Sphere of co-prosperity: As Japan, own or via vassals all of China, Korea, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.

The Man in the High Castle: As Germany, devastate Delaware until it reaches 100% (reference to the atomic bombing of Washington DC in this work)

ALL THE ISLES:
As the Isles control and own (or have a vassal do that) all provinces on what todays definition would call islands which means: carribean, madagascar, great britain, ceylon/sri lanka, southeastasian archipelago (without australia but including new zeeland), Taiwan, Japan and all the 1P-Isles all over the oceans. Oh, and the isles in the mediterranean as well. Tag change not allowed becaus it's "the isles"

Both of these tags are specifically not-Ironman. Also, the joke got old.

Rag-USA
Form the United States, from a former Ragusan colonial nation.​
Nobody but I expected the Spanish inquisition!
As any country that is not Catholic, convert all of Spain into your state religion, while not allowing any Catholic province in your country.​
(※All of Spain = whole Iberian peninsular except portugal + all non-portuguese Iberian culture countries)​

"Howdily Doodily Neighborino!"- As Flanders, own and core Anatolia
(Reference to the Simpsons' character Ned Flanders, as well as being a reference to the poet/playwrite Homer, who was born someone in Anatolia [Most likely Ionia])
