Easiest nation to start in 1444

[Hiking1 96]

If you want to learn the game without many shenanigans and being to tiny to experience the game, i recommend PORTUGAL

Why?, easy Castille and Morocco are always waging war against each other, so:

1. Make the reconquista fast af, remember to get the Gibraltar!
2. Morocco will declare against Castille, you can simply allow both to be in your country and both will never wage against you!

Now in Diplomacy in alliances, i recommend getting one alliance with England as they normally never lose (if you support them in france obviously), Ottomans are nice too sometimes

In Buildings make a lot of ports in the north and south of your country as 90% you need ocean superiority

Portugal is also very great for colonization, you can ally with castille and colonize

[Australia 17]

Hungary is a nice starter too I think.

Ulm is the best starter, go to war with the whole world and ez win

Yeah, but in some of my games Scotland beats England so I don't really know what's the best, it's probably better to keep good relations with them all

I think that's good play with portugal and conquest africa faster as possible. After, colonization and expasion in the Iberia.

The only real campaign I've played is as Korea, and it was pretty easy

France is getting killed by Burgundy 

[Towarzysz Mateusz 2]

Poland is very easy country for start. You can attack some small HRE countries  

[Balamber Khan 50]

I think it is Aragon for me. I played as Morocco, Ottomans, Karaman, Timurids, Bukhara and some others, and the most easiest (and also fun) one was Aragon.

All I know is it's not from HRE

[PETER 53]

[SUDAMXX 918]

Bavaria is a good starter for HRE

[brejas 56]

Sweden is easy

[aydin 2]

England and Ming are quite easy, France always in my games gets killed by Nevers or Burgundy, Ottomans usually get ganged up on by Karaman and Mamaluks.

Austria is in HRE and it's pretty good

Lithuania is good. You can from the PL commonwealth,etc. For the USA scenario,I reccomend maryland. For modern world...eh,idk.

My favorite country to play as in the 1440 start date is norway (and not just because I am a Norwegian American but that's most likely why I started playing it) but it's already close to greenland and from there you can start American colonization

I think that's good play with  Speed Test portugal and conquest africa faster as possible.

England is good, along as you keep scotland and france on good terms, (or invade scotland and keep france on good terms it's fine) but you might need a little  experience
