One of the more annoying things I have come across in DV (although it was in 1.05 as well) is implausible demesnes that span from Iceland to Baghdad and the owner was no worse for wear if he kept under his demesne limit.
Recently, I saw the Sultan of Egypt own personal demesne provinces in Morocco, Egypt, and Iraq surrounded by hordes of other Muslim rulers which mean neither I nor the AI could get a peace deal without a unwinable slug fest.
Then, I saw King of Poland demense in England and this was getting to be about as unreasonable as the odd lieges ( thanks again for that event jordarkelf)
It turns out a revolt event will take care most of the oddities since DV is pretty good at getting rebels to take over a province and the AI fails are fighting rebels.
The way this works is that it checks the province to see if the capital of the owner is same region and then checks all the adjacent regions.
So if you had a demesne in France and your capital was in Germany, you would be OK, but if your demesne was in Spain and your capital was in Germany you would not.
It took me a bit to actually realize why Asia Minor kept revolting from Byzantine when I finally figured out that Constantinople was Balkan.
There are two parts of the event, one for pagans or Muslims and then one for Christians.
The one for Christians is more liberal since they tend to be less guilty whereas the one for the Pagans and Muslims checks their demesnes for their region and not adjacent. I think they don't have the same demesne penalties as Christians (like Archbishops and Republics... could be wrong) and the reason I didn't include North Africa and Middle East together was because of the Morocco/Baghdad scenario which I mentioned earlier.
There is a 2 month MTTH and no modifiers. Why?
Because it doesn't matter how good your stats and traits are because a 20 intrigue gray eminence still can't directly administer a province in the middle east from Europe due to real life communications problems.
Yes, it will spam you if you break the rules. That is intentional to get you and the AI to give up those provinces to a vassal willingly or by force.

Forgot that.
