Overseas provinces- to bug or not to bug?

[ero_sk]

Hi everyone. I'm playing as Aragon at the moment and I'm facing very strange issue. I've conquered Annaba and Bizerte- as seen on the screenshots one province is treated as a regular while another has overseas modifier. Is it a bug or am I missing something?

By the way I'm facing lot of strage issues in current game, e.g. two heirs pop up at the same time, sudden stability loses without any notification and many more.

EDIT: Another problem in Bizerte is as described in THIS thread (I just noticed it).

Depends which one is distant overseas.

Bizerte is oversees because it is too far from your capital while Annaba is not. Read the 1.6 or 1.7 patch notes to see this change.

Is there a way to check the range of my country?

 

[tgungamer]

The only possible way to check is the way you just did.
IT's the same for every country and it goes in a radius around your capital.
I guess you could go to colonial range map and see how far Annaba and Bizerte is and that would be close to your range in all directions. Although I am not aware of any correlation between this "overseas" range and colonial range you might at least get a general idea from this.

I have exactly the same with Aragon. I wonder if this relative distance changes over time, or if these will always be a completely useless provinces to have? In the latter case I guess I will release it as a vassal or something... Then it's impossible to have a Mediterranean empire? Or do I need a capital on Sicily?

In fact I realized this is a big history lesson. As the Carthagian empire was clearly having territories outside of its 'distant oversees' range, it's only logical they failed. Aragon has same situation with Valencia as capital and Tunis being out of range. Paradox must have thought this through very thoroughly. But how did the Roman empire do it then?
