So, even after their 50% minimum LA, Ming still comes up top? I wonder how much the tech difference between Western and Chinese will make up for that, if Ming ever comes to swap blows with Europe.
Nothing new there. In 1.11.4, Uzbek started the game with 20-something provinces totalling 59 base tax, making it considerably larger than Milan or Naples (and comparable, in BT terms, with Portugal).
So half of Europe were fighting for a swamp? I kind of doubt it, to be honest.

Compare that to a siberian steppe khanate. I'd wager the tribes there didn't exactly develop the land...

Countries with lots of provinces have more development. I'm actually not surprised at all.

Given that there was a few month (two at most January 2015 as opposite to November 2014). Number may be little off for all I know.
However given the tendency of PLC to almost and always remain stable for long time of period. As Muscovy Player I am almost tempted to use a certain trick that I know of at every start of the game...

Totally curious here, are there people who consider themselves a single-nation player the way someone would say they are a protoss player? If so, what's the reasoning?

Lol Lithuania is... rofl.... And that about Ming having largest developement, i think it can use half of it because of autonomy, the base is what the penalty is added on.
While the economic surplus per square mile in the Eurasian steppe was rather lower than southern Italy, there were far more square miles of land being exploited. I mean, Uzbek starts the game with a province count in the high 20s. That guarantees they have 75-90 development (a province can't be worse than 1/1/1), and not all of those provinces are going to be 1/1/1, so it's hardly surprising that they end up at a figure of around 170.
Development doesn't take autonomy into account, so in practice Ming is much weaker than it looks.
Total development shouldn't account for LA because it's a modifier added afterwards. Not that by far the largest nation having the highest development is in any way surprising.

I have a couple favorites I always go back to, because I know how to play them well. Livonian Order for EU4, pagan Saxony and Khazaria for CK2
Remember that it just shows development, not LA, accepted/non accepted culture maluses, wrong religion etc. You are all assuming those tags are gaining 100% efficiency from that development.
It's because Lithuania is huge. It has been that way since release.

Shouldn't Lithuania be much less developed than it is? Much of the south was effectively unsettled or very sparsely settled land with no major settlements.
