Quite simple really, state the name of the faction you enjoy playing most, and a brief explanation why.

HRE.
Because:
They're Holy.
They're Romans.
They're an Empire.
You ask for steak, I bring you fish. You say that you think steak is better than fish. I say that fish is much more popular than steak so obviously it's better. You say that no matter how good the fish is it can't be better at being steak than the actual steak we used to serve. I say that's just your perception and you're entitled to it but you should accept that fish is the future and that's good. You begin to say something but I stab you in the eye with a fork and run into the kitchen.
The nation that will insist upon drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking by cowards.

I second that and yes I am sure.
I'll go with the ERE (Byzantines), because it's also a very intresting and difficult area cause Byzantines have to deal with Turks from east and crusaders from west and because even in a game, I can control the largest and most beutiful city in medieval times, Constantinopole.
P.S. I forgot. I'm Greek.
Turks, because I love to crush the Crusader scum and bring Byzantium to it's knees.
Danes.
Scots a close 2nd.
Interesting and unique units. Small factions are usually more interesting too. Harder campaigns.
Vikings :-) and beserkeresque units.
France
Mongol
Venice

Denmark, and Scotland because they're cornered up north (I don't like being completely surrounded by other factions like France or the HRE). And I like their "berserker" units.
Spain/Portugal because they can expand into muslim territory easily. No need to worry about excommunication. Plus the new world bonuses.
Venice I'd have to say was my favorite.
Though I found the Spanish campaign very easy, on h/h it took less than 10 turns to wipe out Portugal, push the Moors back into Africa and bring the entire Iberian Peninsula, and parts of Southern France under my control.
It's even a Voltaire's quote about HRE![]()

France
-Strong cavalry, infantry and missiles
-I like blue
-Nice starting position with potential conflicts on all sides, but not moneyless like the HRE
Scotland
-Cool accents
-I like being the underdog
-FRREEEEDOOOMMMM!!!![]()
I use England and Spain. England because of their good units and Spain becaus eI want to use my conquistadors to conquer the new world.
LEAD, FOLLOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!
Scotland for Obvious reasons.
I also like the Sicillians because they get the best knights, and have the Italian spear militia (the best early unit in the game) plus they get the Expand to either North Africa, The Isles or Byzantine terrotory so they have no worry about being excommunicated.
Under the patronage of Rhah and brother of eventhorizen.
I have played as England and I havent finished my first campaign yet. (I had to wait for a new graphics card) Once I have completed it with them I want to give an Italian faction a go, probably Sicily.
