Paradox games just aren't that challenging or strategic once you understand the mechanics.
And understanding the mechanics requires reading stuff on the internet, because in game explanations are inadequate or misleading.
So playing Paradox games basically consists of researching the mechanics on the internet, then going "oh, this is kind of boring" after a couple of games.
Unless you like sandbox games... I do not.
Strategy gaming are about making decisions. If you don't understand the game's mechanics you have no way to know what the consequences of your decisions are, so they become pointless.Or, alternatively, you could spare yourself spoilers and enjoy the movie as it is. Its not fair to complain about the ending when you knew what it will be from the beginning.
Or are you perhaps playing some kind of competitive SP?
If you're looking to LARP a country then playing a Paradox game blind will be enjoyable, but if you want to actually play a game then knowing what the rules are is essential.
