So I was looking thru the province files and I found that the number for Ganja is 420.So I was wandering if there are other easter eggs like this?

Well, there are some other silly provinces, like Haha in Morocco, Lucknow in northern India, Manga in western Africa and some others.
Made doubly good by the fact that Japan gets a mission to conquer it....
The tooltip for transport ships is a swipe at the Civ series.
Conquering Paris as Sweden creates another Easter Egg.
Saruhan's flag and Aragon's Saruhan mission are others.

To anyone who'd like to answer this: please put it in "spoiler" brackets. It's nice thread, but some things I'd like to check myself
The transport tooltip is not a swipe at Civ as a series specifically (to do so would be ignorant, as you most certainly need transports in a number of civ titles, including IV). It works as a swipe at Civ V, but would be better interpreted as a swipe at strategy games that allow units to embark with magic ships from nowhere in general, as Civ is definitely not alone in that department
If you culture convert it to Swedish you get an event to move your capital there and give it 2 base tax.
"A Swedish City!"
"The turning point, however, was not King Johan's inheritance of France, nor his move to Palais Royal, preferring the warm cosmopolitan feel of 17th century Paris to the dreary winter nights of Stockholm. The turning point would come the following month, with the Great Fire of Paris, 1651. The fire broke out in what is today the sixth arrondissement, and while containing Palais Royal, the Hôtel de Ville, and the Notre Dame Cathedral would be out of danger, separated from the fire by the Seine River, it soon became clear that everything south of the river was in grave jeopardy. The confusion between the Swedish-speaking administrators and their French-speaking firefighter subordinates left the response effort disjointed and chaotic, though a heroic effort tried to save it, the still-new Pont Royal burned, barring any further ability to save southern Paris. Making the matters worse, screaming, wailing refugees formed chaotic mobs. A rioting mob of the new homeless stormed what is now the 8th arrondissement, pillaging the Champs-Élysees. Only Swedish soldiers prevented the critical fourth arrondissement and the Palais Royal from receiving the same fate. Once the ashes settled, much of French Paris had vanished. King Johan saw an opportunity in the ruined remnants of his new city. He set up an official, subsidized settlement for refugees, but placed it in Saint-Germain. As the French homeless moved out of Paris for less central parts of Ile-de-France, Johan hired Maurice de Blois, the greatest architect of the day, to rebuild the areas south of the Seine in a very Scandinavian style. Johan, nervous that the nobles back in Sweden would revolt, came up with a creative solution. He invited the nobility of Sweden and Finland to resettle in southern Paris, so they would have proximity to the Palais Royal, and so Johan could keep an eye on them."

There are some things like that (events, missions like the one about Aragon and Gondar or the one about Manga, flag of Saruhan, leader names of Gotland).
As for the provinces names themselves though:
No idea about the province number of Ganja (really I had to google it myself to get it) but the name itself is not an Easter Egg. Likewise for Haha, Lucknow (which is not really an obscure city even today, it's the capital of one of India's biggest states) and Manga, these are all legit names that happen to sound funny to us in a language nobody in those places had heard of at the time. I find them funny too but that's not why they are there in the first place.

I like the Flag of the Aatolian provence of Sauran or whatever "the White Hand" a clear Middle Earth easter egg
I must say, my first thought was CK. It worked that way there
(inb4: CK, not CK2).Also, thanks Golladan
