areas with the best resources?

Probably some of the best regions (aside India / China) in Vanilla are Bohemia (Iron + Coal) and Java (Sulphur, Oil, Rubber).

Note that resources don't mean anything if you don't have a lot of population on them.

which is why i take china all the time now ;).
i guess i should have mentioned going into the late game. doing a run as prussia/germany

Well, most people "ban" taking China, because.. well... too overpowered.
For Germany, Bohemia is extremly strong, because Iron is usually in deficit. However, that's probably only true in Multiplayer. In Singleplayer you probably are Greater Germany anyhows

yea youre right come to think of it. next time ill figure out something else to do

Nowadays Nigeria and Cameroon for rubber, timber and some other ressources
and one or two coal provincees, with lots pf pops, but the downside of them being
too big to civilise and remaining colonies with less productivity and less valuable pops.

...okay probably not so interesting for your case, but good for small nations and early game. Hmm...maybe Korea then, but i suppose that is covered by 'China'.

There are never enough ressources late game anyway or the POPs are too poor or both..

Bohemia, ports and subs of china and most of the dutch colonies like java they hold giant sulfur deposits
