I was watching Quill's stream earlier (EU1 with Johan) and a viewer asked why Scandinavia doesn't have any events. I think that's a good question; when you form SCA, you become the cultural union tag but you lose all the flavour events you would have had as your old country. And since the other two Scandinavian cultures are probably accepted in your empire anyway, that doesn't give much incentive to form Scandinavia. I suggest giving Scandinavia the flavour events of the country that formed it. And it'd be very easy to do.

In the Denmark, Norway, and Sweden flavour events, whenever e.g. "tag = NOR" is used as a trigger, simply replace it with:
Code:
		OR = {
			tag = NOR
			AND = {
				tag = SCA
				primary_culture = norwegian
				NOT = {
					exists = NOR
				}
			}
		}

So you get an event if EITHER you are Norway OR you are Scandinavia, have Norwegian primary culture, and Norway doesn't exist. The only "loophole" here is that Gotland will get Swedish events if it forms SCA. Though if Gotland somehow manages to form Scandinavia, it probably deserves them.

Obvious exceptions to this would be flavor_dan.3300 (The Great Northern Conflict), flavor_swe.3217 (The Engelbrekt Rebellion), flavor_swe.3218 (The Kalmar Recess), and flavor_swe.3219 (End of the Kalmar Union). As far as I can tell the rest seem appropriate to a unified Scandinavia.

The same could also apply to many of the DAN/SWE/NOR missions.

All formables lose the flavor events of the tags that formed them.

Most formables have flavour events of their own though (Russia, GB, Spain, Prussia, etc.). Forming Scandinavia results in a flavourless game, when it really doesn't have to.
