Not really, this is some kind of Mercator projection, making Scandinavia larger. It's especially obvious if you compare with Iberia: in reality it is some 20% smaller than Sweden+Norway.

Same as russia, canada, and greenland. Everything up north is disproportionate because it's made flat.
It's good to see my beloved Livonian Order as well... Now, if only Riga wasn't in the way... XD
I do wonder what Norway's special stuff will be since they were not independent for that long. Extra explorers and ahistorical colonialism? Something pushing Norway into Greenland and over to Canada? Missions pushing for the creation of Vinlad?
Fish, klippfisk, fishing boat, fishing fleet, fishing banks, lutefisk and cross-country skiing?
Already know how I will play my first game with Sweden.
Will make a new Mod adding Zlatan Ibrahimovic as king of Sweden and then Zlatanize the whole world!

Finally we manage to see the map, and it is a nice sight indeed!
I look forward to see how nasty and colorful rebels will be on the next diary!

" Tills han vitögat ser karolinen marscherar fram…", I don't speak French so well but this should translate into something like "Until the white of the eyes he sees, the Carolean marches forward" in English.
It's impossible to actually balance EU for multiplayer, without house rules players are always going to exploit weaknesses in the game and the AI. That's aside from the problems of trying to balance a German OPM or Native American nation against France or Russia.
But he's not Swedish
Why Danish? Not sure about his name, but his surname would never exist without Ottoman conquest of Bosnia
.
Se döden i vitögat means to come close to death or to have a near-death experience. So in French something like:
« Avant qu'il ne frôle la mort, un soldat de Charles XII surgissait... »
That expression has nothing to do with the text, if you see somebody's "vitöga" it simply means that you are close enough to see the white of his eyes.

Oh, I know that, his father was Bosnian. But he was born in Malmö, which was Danish for the first half of the game. It was a joke, right

Norway wasn't independent at all from 1444 to the late 18th century. They enjoyed more autonomy in the personal union before 1536, but that's pretty much it. I'm sure Paradox will think of something, however. Something to do with

Perhaps. An ahistorical revival of the Grænlendingar culture would be interesting, at the least.

Oh I see, I didn't know about his birthplace, it makes more sense now.
