Alternate Colonizers

[Blind Cavefish]

So, after my various (mis)adventures with non-European countries went....less than spectacularly, i decided that i'd try to head back to Europe, however i always found the great powers a wee bit boring after awhile, i was wondering if there were any other European countries that can do a good job at playing the colonial game? (AGCEEP or default) I've already seriously considered giving Venice a twirl. Any general advice on this? I would especially love some help on improving my chances of getting random explorers/conquistadors. Also if there's any other minors that are fun or even non European countries that can expand in the Americas/Africa/South East Asia would be fine too.

I had a game with Venice in which I received a lot of conquistadors. By that time, most of the more choice places had been colonized already, but I was still able to have a fairly extensive colonial empire in Africa and parts of North America. It's also bit more of a challenge and perhaps more interesting to take those places.

Full narrowminded, naval and free trade gives you the highest chance of getting conquistadores and explorers by random event

If it's the same as EU2, naval for explorers, land for conquistadores.

Well, China is an obvious non-European coloniser.

Both Japan and Inca also get also a chance to get an Explorer through event (in AGCEEP)....
