This should certainly make for an interesting map at the start of EU3.

What's that little enclave in the middle of Bulgaria?

Not quite correct. The way it works is that each year, a child will either get +1 in one stat or +1 in all stats. This means that a 16 year old will have anything from 16 to 64 stat points, and a 1 year old would either have 1 or 4.

The map is looking so great after the dissolution of the Byzantine Empire. So many interesting countries; Thessalonica, Nicea, Gascony and Baltic Frisia. Guiscard Italy was already my favorite country on the map and sacking Constantinople in some bizarro version of the 4th Crusade has just solidified that even more for me.

Also I am sad that Mann has fallen in power as of late. And Wales just... keeps on existing with that one province. No gains, no annex. Seriously, I hope they try to gain some ground I rarely see them independent.

Nothing except my modding of it into four kingdoms, which resulted in Nicaea and Thessalonica forming instead of Byzantium reforming.

It's very unlikely to happen in CK since they don't hold any king titles with land associated with them, but it's possible in EU3.

But yes, Nicaea and Thessalonica are both Greek Orthodox.

If the map looks something like that, there should be a "Reform the Byzantine Empire" Decision for the Greek minors in EU3. "Conditions: Byzantine Empire does not exist. X must own Morea, Athens, Adrianople, Epirus, Nicomedia, Smyrna, and Thrace."

Byzantium does not need to "reunite", for it is already united in the territory of Cherson...where the Great Byzantine Emperor will rule forever and ever in its demense. I'm suspecting that if the Empire's territory would stays in Cherson forever, it'd likely be renamed to Cherson in EU3. (EDIT: "Real" Byzantium still owns two provinces on the Greek mainland as well in addition to Cherson.)

There isn't really a HRE right now, the King of Germany would be claiming the title but everything's kind of a mess.

Thankfully, with our advanced Islamic medicinal techniques, it will be quickly stamped out and we will see no lasting ill effects. Right?

Crusader armies diverting to Byzantium and sacking it: Is this something that normally happens in the game, as in some kingdom randomly decides to attack Constantinople, or is it that Constantinople becomes a Crusade-target, or was something else (you mentioned Syria) a Crusade target in your game but the AI decided to use its armies on Constantinople instead?
