The three biggest settler spammers are:
1. Elizabeth
2. Washington
3. Hiwatha
You're forgetting Suleiman and Genghis Khan.

I guess I don't really notice how much other empires expand. I generally stick to at least 4 cities, 6 tops, but when I go into the trade menu and check other players' city counts I feel like an underdog despite always coming out on top.
How many cities do you folks usually own? What's your ideal amount of cities?
Great list
I will add a minor caveat though. Catherine was how you describe to a T before the patch, but I tried an experiment on my latest game with the latest version released last month. In that game, I met Catherine about halfway through (after sailing across the ocean blue). I denounced the same civs she denounced (out of convenience -- they were actually the civs I wanted to denounce). Catherine at that up. She thought I was the best thing since sliced bread. I even got her and I to agree to Defensive Pacts for much of the endgame (from about 100 turns to victory until I won). Since denouncements expire now, you can also change mid-course if you find you want to try to woo someone else but the denouncements aren't completely in-line.
So, for all the complaints about the denounce system, it is a lot better than the black box before it, and especially better now that denouncements expire and aren't so much of an "all denounce you" syndrome. It takes some of the mystery away from Catherine -- she just wants loyal subjects if you want to try to woo her.
Can't wait for the write-ups on the DLC Civs. Polynesia seems extremely easygoing in my games, and the Inca are reasonably friendly. Nebuchadnezzar is extremely grouchy, and seldom agrees to diplomatic offerings. Can't really label Isabella yet. I've yet to meat Khan in a game, but I think it's safe to assume that he's a homicidal maniac.
That cracked me up more than once.
As an aside, I had a game where Askia actually managed to conquer the entire continent that he started on. Even more surprisingly, he was quite friendly towards me, despite my empire being half the size of his and not a whole lot more advanced.
