This vote is kind of a catch-22: only people who have already played a fair amount of EU4 are likely to vote, but they probably don't remember what new players are actually looking for. New players might be watching the vote, but they wouldn't want to risk voting for a country that isn't fun, since nobody likes a boring LP, even if the end result is playing as a complicated country that dissuades them from playing.

Sweden isn't really hard to play when compared to the minor states (like Aragon and Scotland), but it requires an early finesse that makes it an awkward choice at best. Venice is...an odd duck.

I've never played EU4 and I voted for Sweden because I had no clue if they were an easy start or not. I only knew it was historically a perpetually "almost a great power" nation and figured that would make it a fun nation for beginners.
