I did have soemthing to do with that image, In an earlier war I had obliterated the Ottoman navy and they didn't have time to rebuild before they attacked one of Japan's allies, as a result, the Japanese would have met very little opposition in the Mediterranean which allowed them to successfully land their troops. Also, I owned the province that Constantinople bordered in Anatolia so the Ottoman armies couldn't reach their capital (I had refused military access a few times before).
I did get a PU over Austria early on and integrated them eventually. But I never actively participated in European affairs. Of course Austria not being there leads to all kinds of silly stuff.
I was (pleasantly) surprised to see my ally Austria in Ming. If that doesn't scream dedication I don't know what will lol. They deserve a cookie after the war's over 
Also, I don't get this, why would Hindu Zealots appear on Hindu province, on a nation with 100% religious unity... is it an event?

Gentlemen, I may present you probably one of the scariest Artificial Intelligence empires in the history of all mankind.
No major mods used, only graphical and country names changes.
OTTOMAN GALACTIC EMPIRE!
- Major world economy from 1500s to 1780 when my Pacific Japanese Empire eclipsed it
- Not a single war lost until 1770s land invasion against Russia (lol)
- To make it release three countries there was needed a 20 year long world war against a combo of Spain, Portugal, Burgundy, Revolutionary France, Russia, my Japan, Scandinavia, Brandenburg and Rebels (capital letter because there were hundreds of thousands of them)
And even then we managed to weaken them only to this point:

I see your Austria in Ming and raise you Ming in the Crimea.
Ming in Crimea? What about Mexico in India:
EDIT: Also, according to the Coalition mapmode, the entire world is in the coalition against uncolonised land.

Had that in a recent game as well. Brazil can actually be very powerful once independent, the production is great and they own a lot of land.
The nation of Jeolla has finished westernizing!!!
Um....it's too bad for him that I full annexed him 2 years ago...
edit: also for those wondering how I'm a western Japan at 1500....well i got extremely lucky with a western nation popping out of one of the Giant Imploding Asian Blobs that the random nations always creates.

Mutapa occasionally wins with Kilwa. But it usually breaks sooner or later and I have never seen Mutapa alive and with more than Mutapa at 1821. What would shock me would be conversion of these lands to animism
Indeed, I have seen Mutapa win a few times(even expand further north) but it always converted to Sunni later on.
As part of our peace deal with the Timurids, we've arranged our borders in form of a boot stepping on the Timurid face, forever.
Our western border is also stepping on Ottomans' face but hopefully they haven't noticed that yet.
Thankee! My initial goal was to do a Shiite Jihad achievement with Gazikumukh instead of Nejd. I'm failing as you can see (newish player and stuff...) but I'm liking how it's shaping up so far anyway

In my recent Spain game, AFAIK they ended up eating all the way to Ajuuraan and still controlled all of that land, as Animists, in 1800 (I didn't bother playing on after that). I've never seen them convert any land to Anaimist, though.
You think this is huge? Look at this!
LOL Does that say "anal"?
As one of your saves? HAHAHAHAHA

Brazil is one of the richest colonial regions, so it's not weird to see them be that powerful.
Taungoo and Bohemia, on the other hand...
Really glorious Ottoman Empire in your game, as well. The Ottoman borders are magnificent.
