DDRJake used zealots, but I think Christian zealots (even Catholic zealots, lol) are specifically barred from force-converting PAP, or at least they were in previous versions. I suppose OPM bankruptcy should still be an option, but maybe there's a less scary way to do it.
On the positive side, it looks like none of the events bother to ask 'is the Pope Catholic?' So all the usual PAP buffs should be available. Not sure if non-Catholic Pope can become Papal Controller, but that's no great loss given how much of a lottery it is normally.

You should be able to spawn it without moving your capital, but the tooltip is unclear as it states "capital area". It might be safer to move your capital to Makassar which can spawn it, as I tried in a test game. It took me 7 reloads to have it spawn in Makassar in a similar test run, however... It spawned 6 times in Portugal, but I was really unlucky.
IIRC in this case "capital area" means "must have an uninterrupted land connection to the capital"
I've manage to get it to spawn in Halmhera (the province right next door to you capital) . Make sure you have discovered the New world (ie americas). To do that you gonna need to colonize towards St Helena (have a colony in South America) or towards Alaska (the route I took) to be able to send an explorer to find it.
So yes should be able to spawn in your capital.
what's the fastest route to the New World from Indonesia? Right now I can only colonize Wake, which means I'd have to hop again to Hawaii, and I don't think I could get Hawaii cored by 1500; it's 1485 now and I'm just finishing my first colony. Is Guam to Aleutians one hop if you have level 4 dip tech and the +50% colonial range idea?
I don't think you can go Guam-Alaska in one step. You could colonize next to a Siberian clan council, fabricate, conquer, core, then disband your colony and go for Alaska.
I went first to Manilla - but you want that one anyway, since its super good.
Kurils, then conquest of the east siberian tribes and from there you can see Alaska using an explorer.
Note that you don't haved to finish colony - just start it so you can fabricate claim on the sibirians tribes.
PS You should have level 7 dip tech.
Before Jake started working for the man, he was an unofficial tester because there were sometimes even hotfixes to fix the exploits he was showing off. In any case, patches for his gameplay and any successful Byz strategy were the order of the day when Wiz roamed the halls of EU4.
Can I start a colony and use it for colonial range to leapfrog immediately, or do I have to wait for it to complete? How long should I expect a colony to complete in the early game? I don't recall when I started my first one.
I am starting to think I should just no-CB some Siberians

You ave to be in range of a core. This is called Colonial Range. There's a mapmode for it.
As Scotland i can't fabricate clame on Kildare. Why?
Leinster, Sligo, Cork and Limerick are cores.

I can't acquire a certain oversea coastal province that I have a claim on through threaten war. The province is owned by a colonial nation so I can't threaten them since they're a subject nation. Neither does the province that I want show up in the list of provinces that I can acquire when threatening the overlord.
Is this a bug or working as it should? Have I missed something?

This is a very annoying thing right now, but you can't threaten war on a subject nation. This will likely be fixed, the devs are aware of this.

Is there any chance to become HRE Emperor via winning the religious war for the protestant side? I typically stay out of the war, but in my current game I think I should easily be strong enough to lead the protestant side to victory. But I only want to spend the time/manpower to do that if I can get something worthwhile out of it (ie. becoming the first protestant Emperor).

you never get 100% chance to get elected as protestant leader, simply because the catholic electors participate in the vote, only to lose electorship next month.
I did suggestion thread on this, it might get changed.
That said, you WILL usually be elected in the end, so it's not that big of a deal. But if you are a protestant leader OUTSIDE the HRE, yeah, it would get annooying if you can't get elected within couple decades, even tbough you led protestants to victory.
In my current game as France it's 1608 and the "Global Trade"-Institution still hasn't spawned. Mouseovering the requirements tells me I have all of them except "Champagne is the most valuable trade node" which is strange since my trade capital is in Genoa. I never had an institution spawn that much later then the earliest possible start date. Any known bugs or just unlucky?
It is extremely weird that it hasn't spawned yet, because this one usually spawns on time due to the numerous valid provinces. Maybe reload the game?
The tooltip for you being able to spawn an institution only tells you if you can spawn it in your capital, the administrative one, so here Paris, they are inaccurate as 80% of the tooltips of the game. You should be able to spawn it if Genoa is the most valuable tradenode, and if it is not Genoa, then someone should spawn it anyway in the most valuable tradenode. Just wait a little bit.
