EU3 MMP2 Succession Game

[TinCow]

This is a discussion thread for the EU3 MMP2 Succession Game.

Setup:
EU3 w/ both expansion packs
Magna Mundi Platinum 2 mod v1.15 w/ Hotfix

Rules:
Each player will play until his regent dies, whether that be 50 years or 50 days.
No reloading except for normal, "I have other things to do than playing this game" reasons. Setbacks are what make this game fun.
It is highly encouraged that at the end of each turn, the player post at least a brief summary of the events of their reign.
Normally in games like these there's a rule about not exploiting the AI. However, MMP2 is generally so difficult that I'm not too concerned about that. Do whatever you want, as far as I am concerned.

List of Players:

Ok... so first things first, what nation should we play?

I'd prefer to avoid a major nation but something larger than a OPM might be a good idea due to likelihood of instant-annexation in the beginning. I almost always play in Europe, but I'm open to anything.
