Don't know who to play....

Hello EU4 redditors, I've found myself in a situation... im bored as hell with typical nations to play as, nation runs i do typically end with me exiting the game and never returning because of boredom with the run itself.

I guess im looking for nations that are in a situation to...

• Have a somewhat difficult start but not too difficult where i have to think outside the box just to survive (Granada 1444)
• Have decent national ideas
• Be places in the Old World rather than the New World

I'd love any suggestions given, btw i have 🔵Extended Timeline🔴
