A lot of people say Italy is a good first choice because you arent forced into conflict if you really dont want it, besides the small initial conflict you start with in Ethiopia. Others say Germany is a really good start too as they have a strong military and strong industrial base but Ive heard you are kinda forced into conflict and the pace of it isnt always up to you. If you want a good mix of the economy and military sides of the game I would go with those. If you just want to focus on learning the economy then I would go with the US as you are an isolationist and you could stay that course as long as you want. Brazil is also an option if you want to create your own little empire in South America.
