Event Suggestions (Austria)
And a few more. This is purely random; I'm looking for protestant history and getting interesting, but completely useless pages. This one details Austrian history, especially for a single province: Moldavia (called Austrian Moldavia or simply 'Bukovina'). Looks like lots of random 'German settler' events causing stability drops or revolts (?) and a few provincetax drops.

1835-1850 Second wave of German settlers from Bohemian Forest settled in Bukovina (2 settlements in 1835, 2 in 1838, 1 in 1843 and 1 in 1850).
1848-1849 Revolutionary turmoil spreads throughout Europe. Austrian Chancellor Metternich flees; Ferdinand I abdicates in favor of eighteen-year-old Francis Joseph I, destined to have the longest reign of any monarch in modern times (sixty-eight years); Bukovina becomes an autonomous crownland; last vestiges of feudalism rescinded; poor harvests and cholera epidemics.
