Revive an Empire/State that existed from before 1900: British Empire is allowed as it existed before 1900. But a Pahlavi Persia for example isn't as it was established in 1925.
 
For half of them, you simply need the local Congress to push for a plebiscite to reinstall the former royal family.
 
The Ottomans aren't the most obvious choice. If the same people who controlled it in WWI end up controlling it anyways, we would at the very least see another Armenian genocide.

To be fair, we could get the Ottomans circa Suleiman the Magnificent instead.

EDIT: But that would mean we’d get Janissaries and the devshirme system instead, which isn’t much good either...

No Brazilian Empire? The royal family is there, the legislative framework is there (Brazililian Constitution does not disallow monarchy), and it seems there are more and more monarchists in the country.
 
I think this more or less sums up my opinion on the matter

Of those on the list I'm all for the PLC making a return. Now with 100% less Liberum Veto!

A restored Trebizond/Pontus would also be rather interesting.

Gone Fishin'
Other - that'd be a long wishlist :)
Today it is topped by
Grand Moravia.
Not that I'm having a "HH moment" - i.e. Hate Hungary Day - it simply was the first to pop into my head.
Followed by Velite Tribal Confederation and Kingdom of Soissons.
