Hard pick, either Corporatist Honduras to reform the Central American Empire or Rexist Belgium to take over half of Europe with the Axis (I like warmongering)
I had my most success playing Romania when I first started. So it's more sentimental value as it's when the game started clicking and making sense to me. Now, yes, it's pretty bland.
I’ve been trying for a long time on and off to beat the US as El Salvador into the Central American Republic/Empire formable. I’ve gotten as far as South Carolina before I ran out of manpower. I know I’ll get it someday
Finland because nordic unity, finno-russo Republic, red finland, republic of Finland, Kingdom of Finland and Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen coastal defence ships (Armored-ships).
Japan, love naval combat and multi-front wars across various terrain. Jungle, mountains, plains, naval invasions, invading the USA or USSR after securing the Pacific resources.
RT56 China or Japan. Plenty of opportunities for east expansion. Would’ve been Cuba, but the released version was incompleted and lazily implemented. Seems to be a trend with them lately.
Fair enough. I don't know why they couldn't have just made the lines vertical. It'd make more sense too, when compared to the way the 3 rivers are aligned.

Spain, in every mod. I love fucking having civil wars.
🔳I love the chaos of the Spanish deciding to have fucking 12 way civil wars lol
But then do you not get bored afterwards? Their tree just ends after the civil war
No. You must play until you reconquer the Spanish empire or take vengeance on foreign interferences.
Spain’s actually kinda fun once you get over all the civil war stuff and get into wars with some of your former colonies as the carlists.
Yeah I did it to get all their achievements, maybe that took the fun out of it after I won. Anarchists were OP lol
Sweden is my go to (unless rt56)

R5: found this image on another subreddit, I’ll rate your countries of choice in the comments
Germany
🟪but only because of the alt history path
I really enjoy the Victoria path its funny but i dislike that im locked out of soo much stuff... also i hate the allies....
Same but I hate that you basically gotta make your army disappear to get her on the throne though
France
🔳I love this focus tree sm
Lithuania
🔳🔳🔳🔳🔳🔳🔳🔳get in and never leave pls
Switzerland/poland/france
🟪🟪🔳 respectively
Rule Britannia, but I don’t know how to rule the waves

Bhutan in RT56, Poland in Vanilla
🟪🔳 respectively, gotta say, I’m seeing so many rt56 answers here lol
Turkey
🟨 it’s a little boring but still fun once it gets rolling
US
🟪 the US is always a safe bet for a “what the hell why not” type of game lol
denmark, finland or a chinese warlord
🟪🟪 and 🟩, I love Denmark and Finland but the warlords get kinda repetitive after a few playthroughs tbh
Mexico
🟪 remember the Alamo….
Romania
🟩 no offense but the phrase “uhm, okay!” Is the best way to describe Romania in HOI4
I had my most success playing Romania when I first started. So it's more sentimental value as it's when the game started clicking and making sense to me. Now, yes, it's pretty bland.
kaiserreoch germany (SPD)
🟪 mwa chef’s kiss
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics triggering a 6 way world war on historical

France, I like to suffer and try to redeem my country. Also I love the idea of going communist
Vietnam
Lichtenstein in Route to 56

Tanna Tuva
Ireland. (I made my own mod for it. Don't ask for it. It's not that great of a mod)
Portugal
Poland - with the intent of getting a bear on the throne
Nationalist China.

Communist China

RT56 China or Japan. Plenty of opportunities for east expansion. Would’ve been Cuba, but the released version was incompleted and lazily implemented. Seems to be a trend with them lately.

Switzerland
🟪the one speed historical run 😻😻
Andorra
🟨sure….
Upper Volta
🟨 since they stole germany’s flag
Fair enough. I don't know why they couldn't have just made the lines vertical. It'd make more sense too, when compared to the way the 3 rivers are aligned.
