I'm not sure how the exact numbers will play out or if all of these are possible, but that's the idea.

My first one would be a very large chunk of Africa. No idea about the name though, but my goal is simple: Unite all of Africa under my banner and deny the scramble for the continent should I ever get a game converted into Vicky.

I'm thinking Iceland. I wonder if a idea similar to the Norwegian "call of our forefathers" would be available.
Some interesting areas/nations would be:
- Iceland (since I live here): Two provinces are kind of lame though. Maybe take Iceland, Greenland and a bit of Canada. Call it Vinland. It's an alternate history where the Greenlandic vikings stayed in contact with Europe and became an independent Norse kingdom. Add a few native tribes in Canada to have something to do and some competition, and we have a winner. Ideas would be focused on the mixture of Norse and Inuit cultures that would happen (-cultural acceptance threshold), + production efficiency due to fishing, some naval combat ideas, and maybe some tiny military bonuses to represent the viking legacy. Western tech for the lolz, but maybe eastern to make it more balanced. The High American tech group from the CK2 converter might actually fit perfectly, if it's available.
- Polynesia: This region is extremely empty. Got the idea from reading about starting in Hawaii earlier in the thread. I would make a capital in Hawaii, and then take a few other islands. Heavily focused on colonization, navy, and trade. Add a bunch of other island nations and see what happens. Chinese tech seems appropriate.
- Alaska: There's not much going on over here, and the region appeals to me, but there isn't much here. Not sure what would go here, and the game would probably be very boring.
I'm probably going to be not particularly innovative and go for Vinland. Dunno what ideas I'd give it though - I see there are a few suggestions in this thread so I'll take them in mind.
I will probably create Skåne(southern Sweden), unsure if I am going to include Halland and Blekinge as starting provinces. Im going to go with Norse religion, not sure about ideas yet, and also not sure which city should fall to the great Scanian army first, Copenhagen och Stockholm

If we get CK2 cultures in addition to religions I'll most likely create a Norse/Norse Vinland somewhere along the American east coast, I'm thinkng New Jorvik as the capital. Strong military and expansionist ideas. Tech group is kinda hard to decide, if it still dictates what you can see on the map I'm pretty much forced to pick the local group but that means having the sucky troops. Would be nice if you could pick the units and tech group separately.
But if there's no Norse culture then it's the absolute monarchy of Greater Finland ranging from the Åland islands to the Urals, ruled by the benevolent hand of the Kekkonen dynasty with boosted versions of the Finnish ideas.

Another idea: Semien!
Semien - also known as Beta Israel - was the historical Judaistic kingdom in... Ethiopia. I don't remember its chronology so I am not sure if it should be in eu4. But I am goddamn sure OPM Judaistic state in Ethiopia aiming at reclaiming Jerusalem would be amazing game.
Country: Beta Israel
Government: Feudal Kingdom
Culture: if Jewish is impossible - Amhara
Religion: Judaism
Ruler: Solomon David of Davidean dynasty
Ideas: mix of military, religious, trade
Tech group: Eastern
Starts with 1-2 provinces in Ethiopia
Goal: survive, reclaim Jerusalem, spread Judaism, create safe haven for Jews once for all. Bonus points for taking Byzantium and Mecca.

An alternate history scenario where one of the sons of Genghis Khan decided to build a massive fleet and depart across the pacific, landing on the western coast of America. All of the Americas shall fall before the mongol hordes!
Mine goes nicely with the one posted by emux.
Leng
Location: Kokand, Central Asia
Culture: Uzbek
Religion: Sikhism (Followers of Hastur and the Great Old Ones)
Government: Theocracy
Leader: The High Priest Not To Be Described (5/1/3)
Tech Group: Western
Traditions: +50% Hostile core creation cost on us, +1 Attrition for enemies
Land of Nightmare: +30% National spy defense
The Plateau of Leng is known to be a place of unimaginable terror. Only the most fool-hardy of foreign agents would dare attempt to infiltrate it.
Unnatural Growth: +10% Manpower recovery speed
The race of men that inhabit Leng are not quite human, and it is said they derive nourishment from the flesh of their foes...
Voice of the Old Ones: -2 National unrest
The High Priest of Leng rules with absolute awe and terror, for his words are the words of the Great Old Ones.
Ships of the Moonbeasts: +25% Trade range
The toadish moonbeasts are fellow servants of the Great Old Ones. With the help of their merchants and flying ships, there is almost nowhere Leng cannot reach.
Call the Endless Cults: +10% Land forcelimits modifier
When the time is right, the High Priest of Leng can summon the scattered servants of the Old Ones from around the world to join in his great work.
Blessing of the Old Ones: +15% Morale of armies
The armies of Leng fight with fanatical strength, knowing that the triumph of their masters is inevitable.
Visions from Beyond: +3% Missionary strength
All mortals will come to venerate the High Priest and the dark gods he serves, willingly or not.
Ambition: +10% Global trade power
I'm sure the exact numbers will have to tweaked, especially if I decide to go for a 'fair' game, but that's the gist of it.

Judeopolonia? You know... polish ideas are, probably, too powerfull for customisation.
Name ruler sucks - find much aristoratic or much israelite. Jewish-peasent mix for lastname is very bad concept.
Your state loses RT; original Bulgar is defeated by revolutionaries. Despotic Bulgarian Republic vs republicalian Bulgarian 'unnamed'. Stupid...
Really... name state should be independent of the name of the government...
