Got a reference for Romania being removed in EU4? Because a decision to form Romania exists in EU3.
What country will you start as?

Muscovy. Now that they will see some attention I can finally play them at start without going "y u no die Novgorod?!"
I'm not sure. In most of Paradox's games, I like to play as one of Ireland's provinces ( Usually Munster) and form Ireland. From there, I'm not sure. If that doesn't work out, probably Denmark.
I didn't know there was one - probably because it never did form, and I never played enough in that region.
And it makes really little sense to have it - considering that at first a much more powerful Hungary bordered them, sometimes vassalizing would-be constituents, later OE taking the entire region (vassals and integrated provinces). Neither would have allowed the formation of a potential regional power, it would have been trampled before it could catch up.
True, though for some reason I nearly always start from the absolute beginning - mainly because I get to decide building policies etc.
That makes sense. Castile is even more than portugal in terms of safety, etc, but is more powerful and richer.
Saxony in order to create a Saxon-Polish-Lithuanian empire.
And later Byzantium to create a empire like Alexander the Great did.

Probably as the Ottomans, it will be very intresesting to see how the new mechanics works out with them.
Wallachia or Transylvania
and yet romania was this close to being formed in 1600, when the voievode of wallachia, michael the brave, conquered both transylvania and moldavia. had he not been assassinated by general Basta he could have easily created a permanent union, with blessing of emperor rudolf II of austria.
most of the great powers with interests in the area (especially austria) toyed with the idea of a unified romanian state acting as a buffer against the other empires. the only problem was the everyone wanted the new state to be completely under their control.
besides you forget the other ahistorical unions in the game like: germany, italy, scadinavia who formed either outside the actual time-frame or never existed at all.

Novgorod is also one of my choices. I will establish a prosperous republic in north-eastern Europe, crush the russian neighbours, take over Finland and expand eastwards into Siberia while focusing on trade and exploration. 
Good question... For start.... I will play Naples and after Byzantium or Novgorod.
in reality, i would like playing Ethiopia but the map, events and country in general, are very bad in Vanilla. So i will wait for a mod like MEIOU who makes an ethiopian game very interesting.
