Like awesomated, I would agree that Sicily and Venice are well placed to take the Middle East, however, as well as their location, they also have Italian Spear Militia which are sooo overpowered in autoresolve. In the early campign you shouldn't have to worry about losing a battle, especially as egypt and the Turks both like to use cavalry which adds to the autoresolve bonus your spearmen get.

As stated Venice and sicily start in the right area.
Unless you wish it in order then, as I think:
Sicily
Spain or Portugal. HRE or France if you still have a port, but they need their forces to protect their land.
Venice.
