EU4 community, list your most underrated countries to play as

[Vezrim]

We have all played enough of Prussia, Spain, France and Austria, even Ottomans or Mamluks in the Middle East. I feel as most of the time I'm always playing the most general countries in Europe and Asia, and so, it can get boring sometimes to play.

Here I ask the community to list what they feel are underrated countries. Whether it's a country in Europe, Africa or Asia. I think this will not only help me, but also other players who are looking to expand out of the general countries and start to play more interesting but not often mentioned countries that could result in a potentially great game.

Hopefully this will result in a good post where players whether old or new, could come here and check out some countries to play that they haven't played before. Thank you!

Another nation id say is underrated is Aq Qoyunlu
Most people only play AQ for Rise of the White Sheep but they actually have pretty good ideas
Plus you can choose to either form Persia or Rum and you are in a good position to swap to Orthodoxy or Copticism if you choose to (keep in mind if you choose to go Christian and form Rum, you wont get the Ottoman government)

side note: if you want to do a really quick and ez achievement only 1.3% of players have, start as Qara Qoyunlu and focus on diplo points and hire a diplo adviser (highest level you can get) + maybe a production efficiency adviser and just spam diplo dev on wool provinces constantly. You can get Baa Baa Black Sheep before 1500 that way.
