In India even the formables like Nagpur, Punjab or Maratha have generic missions.

Yeah, the Deccan tags represent Nizams as seen in the later bookmarks. And the Nizams were the most cowarldy major power in the post Mughal era, after getting beaten by Marathas a few times Nizams voluntarily submitted to British vassalage (a system called 'Subsidary Alliance'). Most other powers fought at least one war with the British before being vassalised. The Nizams practically begged to become a British subject, lost all their wars against Marathas and they have the best Indian national ideas, and Maratha ideas doesn't even come close, what a joke DLC.

Sounds like the Caribbean in-game.
I would genuinely love to see the few colonial/pirate/native tags that are relevant to the region getting some of the attention they desperately need, unique missions, ideas, events and such. Haiti certainly deserves to be revised and given unique ideas, missions, generally content focused on the Haitian Revolution and beyond. Puerto Rico as a new colonial tag would be fantastic, there were already revolts for independence from the Spanish within the timescale of the game, great material for missions, events, ideas and the like.
The history of the Caribbean during the time period of EU4 is too rich to just be an empty place to receive free meme claims for tags like Gotland, I would appreciate some content based in the reality of the region, on the native people there such as the Taino (It would be amazing to see the Caciques and their respective cacicazgos in the Caribbean represented in some sort of meaningful way), on the many European conflicts regarding territory there, on the cultural/economic impact of the Atlantic slave trade on the region, generally the sort of attention that other regions have received over the course of development. I would be very interested in representing the variety of religions in the Caribbean through revised content, specifically the native Taino faith (Animist in current form is not enough to represent Taino faith if Caciques were present in-game) and syncretic faiths that developed in the region through colonial circumstances like Vodou. I am also interested in seeing Islam in the Caribbean receiving content as well, as it certainly was present through Moriscos as well as other enslaved/indentured Muslims who were taken to the region historically. I have the same interest with seeing the Jewish communities who fled from persecution to the Caribbean, many as Conversos, being provided events or other appropriate content.

Well, I would be tripping over myself to pay for updates to South and Central America. I find it such a bummer that I climb the trees of the religions of nahutl, Mayan, or Inti to click reform and...that's the end. You adopt the culture of some colonizer, and your religion just sits in the background.
I'd really like to see a christianisation arc like the kirishitan stuff japan gets, and the counter-factual, where the native religion holds out and develops its own way. Have Authority/Doom levels actually be a mechanic that feeds into gameplay past the reformation, like meritocracy or the mandate do.

Planet "Earth". Yes, nonironical.
IMO, PDX shouldn't have regional focuses, because, in fact, this dont work. Do after "Rule Britannia" our experience was extremely different in compare to previous versions? IMO nope. Similar with many others.
IMO regional DLC, in future, EU5, should look more like in CK2. Game as muslim dynasty work in very other style, than christian dynasty. Nomadic clans work in very other style, than rest settlement nations. Etc.
Current in EU4, "regional" DLC lead only to "event packs" and few options in general mechanism.
So better should be more general mechanismus, for whole world. New warfare, new administration, new spy etc.

I've been thinking about this question a bit more...
I think it's a real shame that Genoa don't have better/more expanded missions. They were a pretty important Italian Republic at the time and their mission tree is really bland compared to Venice.

Giving deccani culture buffs helps the successor Sultanates to bahamanis resist vijayangar
The tag is the nizam of hyderabad yes as shown by releasing it from mughal mission tree and later bookmarks using the tags
Surviving as one of the last bastions of mughal rule is worthy of the tag getting mil buffs. Whats with the animosity in calling them a lackey?

And a better military tags are the answers to the actual problems that both Bahamanis and Vijayanagar don't disintegrate due to Amir and Nayak politics.
Didn't Vijayanagar cease to exist before Nizams were formed. In my experience in 7 out of 10 games its Bahamianis who end up occupying all of deccan (only to be replaced with a better tag). Since the inadequate game mechanics are anyway not working for representative tags lets add another tag and make it formable ... the basic problem exists that none of the colonisers actually land into India since present tags are a-historically too stable and strong.
Agreed, but why not Oudh be also treated the same they too revolted against weakened Mughals just as did deccan nizams.
They revolted against the Mughals and became independent. Later to serve as tributary to Marathas and then become a client state to East India Company. Animosity is a harsh word to use, but as Deccan history goes this tag is OP against many deserving tags. In no way did they survive because neighbours feared their military.

We can already see the flaws with mission trees here. Nobody gives a damn about how mission trees change how you play (they dont) they only care about the permanent modifiers since without those mission trees would just be objectively worse versions of the old missions where you could atleast get like +1 missionary strenght or extra settlers. So mission trees need to coninually powercreep themselves since Origins one of the worst dlc the game got to offer failed to even outpowercreep its previous dlc and thus offers no value and even removes it with Mali.

Outside of direct player intervention I never saw Bahmanis disintegrating in successor states.
What usually happens is Vijayanagar conquering Bahmanis or Bahmanis conquering Vijayanagar, after it Bahmanis or Vijayanagar become the regional power of South India until late game.
The chance of the historical events in India to happen in EU4 is 0, there is no mechanics that make the historical outcome possible.
The India DLC had almost 0 concerns for the historicity of the region or for historical based mechanics/flavor, his only concern for Indian specific content was the addition of power creep.

The ridiculous buffs are not for the deccani culture as a whole or the successor sultnates, they are for the Deccan tag which is objectionable. It doesn't help Bahmanis or the successor states destroy Vijayanagar anyway (though Bahmanis manages to do that alone just fine).
Hmm... I propose to change their tradition to "+100% chance other tags want to vassalise us" and ambition to "can never be annexed", this way they can be the worthy last bastion of whomsoever.

Both the deccan tag has strong military ideas, and all decan culture tags get unique gov reforms
Vij tends to conquer bahmanis most of the time in my games
Again why the rudeness, no matter which way you slice it, they were able to hold together whilst maratha kingdoms would be established further away

Caucasus and Persia could use some attention by the devs. Apart from some monuments added recently in Leviathan, areas such as Georgia, Armenia and Persia haven't seen much love from the devs in quite a while.
If Riga can get all sorts of crazy good bonuses and missions from alt-history, why not Armenia? I'm semi-confident that Persia is already in the pipeline but am worried that the Caucasus area is not.

I think Islam as a religion is in need of more attention, its the second most relevant of the entire timeframe yet it doesn't have a quarter of the flavor that Christianity does, it just has a slider that gives you money/men once in a while and maybe some gov-locked buttons to press once every 20 years.

Forming the Caliphate is a pretty inconsequential decision considering its the Muslim equivalent of forming Rome. Would be nice if it had its own gov type/ideas etc.

Well lo and behold, permanent claims are next on the chopping block. Now buying Dharma is literally weakening your nation if you start in India. They even removed the Din-i Illahi decision (which gave -6% tech cost reasonably early) if you have Dharma, and gave mission 'rewards' of -10% tech cost at tech 23. Nothing decent about any of the Dharma mission trees anymore.

You're complaining about indians not always staying up on tech?
