I searched all over the internet which country hasn`t been played in AARs. The first one I saw was Zimbabwe. Since I was a bit experienced with their neighbours, the Zulu, I though it would be easy.... but it wasn`t.....

Zimbabwe.
Country stats:
5 provinces
Neighbours : Zulu
Armies: 1000 men led by monarch Nyatsimha (3,2,3,0)
small amount of money
every technology at level 0
Nyatsimha isn`t a sooooo good leader, but at least it`s better than the others. Quickly, 4000 reinforcements are recruited from Zimbabwe. Knowing from other games that the Zulus are just under me, I send my monarch to explore. He discovers the province of Natal and the country of Zulu.
Before I do something else, I recruit the maximum amount of men from every province, 6000 from Zimbabwe, 3000 from Rowzi, 4000 from Sofala and 1000 from Chibuene. The other one is too poor.
When the men are ready, I recruit another 1000 from Chibuene and declare war.
The stability hit quickly dissapears. The stability cost is pretty low, I get back to +3 in less than a year.
Back to the war, Zulu doesn`t build any armies, so I take my chance, Nyatsimha and 11000 men are going straight for the capital, while 7000 men are waiting for some reinforcements in Chibuene. When the reinforcements are ready, I send them, while recruiting another 4000 men from Zimbabwe, 2000 from Sofala and 1000 from Chibuene. I also moved the Treasury slider to the max, for extra money.
The assault was long, and many men were lost. Only 7000 men remained of the once 21000. The siege took 5 years. That`s why I needed more technology.
After I annexed Zulu, I moved the slider back, so I would get only one ducat per monet, while about 4 ducats were into each technology.
While doing this, Zulu`s neighbours, Xhosa declared war on me, even if I didn`t knew where they were.
To spare my units, and because I was afraid that Xhosa would have armies, I sent only 1000 men, led by colonel Edegbe. After almost 6 months, he discovered the realm of the Xhosa tribe, and he also discovered the fact that the enemy had an army. Only 3000 men were guarding their capital, but they butchered Edegbe and his men. Nyatsimha, with 24000 men , wanted revenge for the death of his favourite colonel, and went to crush the small army of enemies. Soon, Nyatsimha discovered that even he wasn`t safe anymore with Xhosa around, as his army was defeated quickly by the enemy. The Xhosa had cavalry, thing that Nyatsimha couldn`t afford. After 9000 reinforcement were brought and Nyatsimha with his retrating army of 17000 men reached Natal, the monarch seeked revenge again. He slip his army in 7 smaller pieces, of 4000 each. Then, all his armies started the attack. The 1000 Xhosa cavalry were wiped out, but almost 600 Xhosas survived and fled to Natal. They couldn`t do much harm, so Nyatsimha started the long siege, while reinforcements were recruited to aid them. But the 600 Xhosas returned, defeating the 22000 led by Nyatsimha again. Filled with anger, Nyatsimha reorganised his armies, coming with almost 30000 men now. The 500 remaining Xhosas were killed, the capital sieged for 3 years, and the Xhosa territory annexed by Zimbabwe.
Now, a long period of peace and harmony started. Every technology reached level 1, so bailiffs were promoted in all provinces, the first Zimbabwe fleet was built, and the Zimbabwe merchants were prosperous in the Zanzibar Center of Trade.
Nyatsimha returned with his army to the capital. Exactly after 9 months, the random event " A heir to the Crown!" occured. Oooooh, Nyatsimha, you`re a naughty boy
17 years.... 17 long years... 17 unevenful and boring years passed...... and Nyatsimha wanted war again.... but against who?
