It's a new system in Death and Taxes for forming Nations. Instead of having to own specific provinces, you have to control a certain number of correct culture provinces. Once you pass the threshold you can form the nation! It's nice for trying to form Italy as a OPM, because Lombardia is usually reeeeally hard to get -.-

Basically via an event a variable for each claim (one claim per formable nation or region usually) is set depending on a number of factors, in MEIOU for example it can also increase if your vassals own territory in the right area or with the correct culture. This variable is then used mostly as a replacement for the long lists of provinces you must control and core in order to form a nation like say Germany or the Kalmar Union.

Behold!
The mighty Russian Empire, stretching from the baltic to the Mongol Khanate, from Arkhangelsk to the Kazakh steppes, complete with an army of 90k.
ALL DONE BY THE AI! (DW 5.1)
Hungary at war with Bohemia and Castille plus friends, and in another war against Byzantium (me). Nothing weird there.
Byzantium at war with with Castille, Bohemia and Hungary, which are allied in war. But isn't Hungary at war with Castille and Bohemia, too? I bet the planning sessions against Byzantium would be interesting sight to see! "No, we can't tell where our forces are because we are at war with you, too."

This might not be strange, but it's certainly the first time I've seen a rebel army this big:

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Turn into a 50-force Pretender Rebellion!
Every so often, they think about attacking their neighbours, and then give up without bothering.
I don't know if this counts as strange, but I've never seen Denmark inherit either of its PU's, it usually dies or they break the union. Hopefully Sweden is next!
Also, Burgundy kicked the crap out of France... and formed Lotharingia! =O I love Death and Taxes formable nations heheh. Variable claims system is great!
AI-formed Lotharingia? I usually see ultra-Burgundy, but this is...
(lol to Flanders being allied with Lotharingia)
Say what, you want to screw me over 2 times now? Actually i wanted to join in anyway, but no way i was going to get that stab hit. Then a second later i get a second invite before i cancel access.
I have been ruined enough at that point by now, but things are going up, because Castile in its infinite visdom got itself into a crusade against Algiers and pulled ottos too in. I let them soften him up a win and take some stuff. Did me a favor already when they wiped out its fleet.
Call to Arms popups are kind of bugged; you would not have taken the stab hit even if you accepted the first call. Stab hits only apply if the person calling you into the war is the aggressor.
You can also cancel military access or slip in a quick insult before accepting if you're lucky.
What's strange is that they all hate him. Though GB as HRE is not too uncommon for players, it's pretty weird for the computer. Random chance, most likely.I hope this is strange enough.
What I though was even stranger was seeing Scandinavia as a possible heir. GB had three electors, Scandinavia had two, Austria was left with one. (I forgot to take a screeshot of it though.)
