Does Sweden *always* blob all over Scandinavia?

My latest game somehow, wasn't paying attention, Norway took all of Sweden and most of Denmark. They don't have enough to form Scandinavia, but they can't be far off it.

Norway is, however, infinitely inferior to Sweden when it comes to the AI. I don't know how they did it, but they are a useless ally and now completely stagnating, failing miserably against everyone they fight, but no one cares enough about them to wipe them out completely.

Here's my current game. My custom nation started in Genoa, with some provinces along the south of France.

Kiev was my doing, in the religious league war, Lithuania was on the opposing side, so I had them release Kiev and Pskov (which Kiev then consumed), the union with Poland failed in the 15th Century.

Everything else to the north and east of the HRE/Italy has been the AI's doing. Even within the HRE I've barely been involved, though I've been a member from the beginning and suffered a few wars in it. Now I'm the Emperor and starting to get more active in it.

I have no idea why any of the weirdness happened. Until I messed with Lithuania, them, Poland and Hungary have been quite stable and strong, though none of them like each other.
