Is it possible to have armies and such showing on the political map, like you can in other Paradox games?

No. I don't think so. The game is pretty much finished. The last patch was 1.09.
The feature first appeared in HoI (2002) following EU II's release. I immediately petitioned Paradox requesting it. Alas, we will have to wait until EU III for it. Another feature that made its debut in CK was toggling map icons on and off like the city graphic and CoAs, etc. I should also like that for EU III.
As mapcolour does not change when you occupy a province its not that important is it? And in comparison to HoI or Victoria one does not need to maintain frontlines etc. which is easier to keep an overview on the political map.
In EU2, knowing the type of terrain is much more important than knowing who controls what province. And having armies showing up on political map would make a real mess...
I am glad the armies are not displayed on the political map. There are some small provinces, especially little islands, where it is difficult to click on the province to build something if your army is in the way. In such cases I go to the political map to get around this problem.
I recently found that you can still click on on navies in port and move them around in political map mode (you still do not see them however). A toggle button or setting in the options is always the best way to go (and that applies to pretty much everything IMO).
I always use the political map in Vicky, it would be nice if it was possible to do it with EU2 too.

Occupation is still vastly important. In war its (generally) the only way to get a good enough warscore to demand what you want. Also unless the provs are your cores you can't demand them in a peace deal without control. It would be nice though if the political map showed some recognition of who controls it beside the flag.

I agree with you, that would be the best thing for me, sometimes troops are needed in the political map, (e.g. it'd be much more easier to begins wars 'cause u know exactly if your troops are correctly positioned)
Best way to get around that would be a button to goto current province of selected army.
