PLC if it forms and/or fully-formed France.
Otto and Russia lost some of their teeth.
For RotW countries, it's Spain/Portugal/GBR triple alliance

Yeah, how could I forget.
To those weirdos who disliked this post - Jan Mayen actually IS the hardest boss in eu4, because when it is spawned via console command it has +50% (!!!) discipline, virtually infinite manpower, virtually infinite money, free CB on everyone, and on top of that always has Lucky status. I spawned Jan Mayen in (it is assigned randomly) West Africa in my last observer game, in 20 years it had like half of that area and was already top 1 global power, by 1821 it was the biggest AI empire I have ever seen (mind you, it starts as 2PM).

In my experience Brandenburg is only one alliance with Sweden away from going from 'oh, hey, Brandenburg's doing pretty well' to 'Aaaaauuuggghhhh, oh God aaaaaaaaaa!'

With Zazzau I fought all of Europe at once, and it continued with brief peace deals with a few of them for most of the end game. It's hard for me to pick an end game boss, but the toughest was of course the Prussian. Especially annoying were Prussian stacks backed up by French stacks.
However, I would call that rather trivial compared to the mid game fights. It's that fight when you try to establish yourself as no longer some minor ROTW nation, but rather a force that should be taken seriously that can get messy. They have their defensive bonus ideas and you're still figuring out what ideas are. They have army tradition and as a human you have no chance for it yet. I find those fights to be more difficult (and more meaningful for that matter) than any end game boss fight.

The aristocratic idea group's increased coring cost is the true end boss of eu4.

Ming splits apart in almost every game I've played recently.

Any nation controlled by the player for at least 100 years. Trying to beat your carefully crafted empire can be a good challenge.
If you want a really hard boss, I guess you could do something stupid like no-CB Venice as a Muslim, take Brescia (their HRE province), and send insults to everyone in Europe. You should get every Catholic (except maybe British Isles and Scandinavia?) in a coalition against you.
In the order of biggest to smallest, Ming, BBB, Ottoman, PLC, and Sweden (early game) are my boss mobs. Ming is tough for me because they've only imploded once before and even when I rush toward them they are way too big. HRE has always been a joke for me.
Russia.
Because you'd get bored and/or disgusted in the middle of sieging their vast lands and quit.

I had that one time when Ottomans gone Orthodox from rebels, stomped Mamluks 2 times and got PU'd by Austria (Which already inherited Burgundy and Hungary)... Also allied with Le Blob.
For any east-asian country, it is Russia: you either need to break through it to get a border with the Scandinavians and westernze, or just to get back all this dark-green steppe land. Russian attrition and, most probably, inferior mil. tech makes Asia vs. Russia wars a living hell, although a pretty cold one.

As Byzantium is Wiz.
If you are playing as DDRJake, then Riga is the ultimate boss.
