Although, I have to say that I recently acquired Victoria 2 and a have had a ton of fun with it. It's pretty amazing and so the way the time period is captured is very impressive.
I've had lots of fun with CK2, it is my favorite of the paradox games. I recently bought Victoria 2, but I feel like I need an instructor to play it. I imagine it would be great, if I knew what I was doing.
