Not really strange, but

I think Sweden might have a bit of a superiority complex

It's not a "strange" world map if you use the random nation generator....

Nor is it "strange" to mod the game to mess things up, then go "OMG look how weird this map is".

You really don't have better things to do than arguing what is "strange" and what isn't, do you?
I see your point though and I understand it might belong to a wholly different thread. However, I don't think I care that much....
Anyway...

Oh, and BTW, only 2 of my posts were "strange" according to your definitione. The rest was just with Extended Timeline.

Playing for the first time as Vijayanagar on Ironman. Really cool game. Colonizing Africa and the Pacific while expanding in India.

Get rivaled by Great Britain, France, and Russia. Have a war with Castille, Portugal, Russia, and France.
Rebels are starting to spawn. Navy has been devastated by Portugal.

Deal with all that, anticipating tough future, if at all able to survive against France. Luckily we still have the economy. Then:

I had that happen to me with Japan some patches ago... when I had over 30k ducats in the bank.

I thought some screens from my recent Yamana game were worth sharing:

901B89E8BC77E2B3A314170C0B222BA99DDEB88D

'Where are we anyway?'

87FBC0477278C092065903542D13A2CF37A8CBB7

'Here? But it's so dark here! And those pretenders of the darkness don't look happy.'

EA2C81712AD94B447F418EDF7766BE5503646143

I'm sure you can get more. Set your fleet to explore e.g. the Californian waters, then detach some ships.

260A5BD64776EC682D2BD8273CF27206FCB12737

I didn't know the mighty Hawaiian bear.

Besides the fact that an African slave works for a nation which doesn't even know Africa, it is also strange that he resurrected immediately.
'The conquistador was struck by an arrow! What do we do?... Wait... He's standing up again, twenty years younger and without the arrow wound.'

Should probably be a disaster rather than an event, though I always thought it took 25% so you'd have to be pretty idiotic to trigger it. Why not post in the suggestions forum?

Despite losing all their colonies and all their lands on mainland Scandinavia, Norway is nevertheless not short of being ambitious.

And sometimes, Russia just do what it's feeling for, really.

Ottos prolly got religious rebels rather than nationalist ones and Orthodox Greece just flipped to them. Still fun to look at though :D

It's not something I've seen before. They're Sunni, not Protestant, and not a part of the HRE for that matter.
Anyone can join the Leagues in game, pretty common seeing people post images of less likely countries-Ottomans at least played a part on the the TYW so abstractly works- such as Golden Horde joining.

This event fires up if you have inflation above 10%, some event like dramatic currency devaluation can happen at 5% that's way not taking economy can be killer

Economic ideas can help but you don't need them - just pay down the inflation manually to keep it below 5%. It's not a lot of mana in the grand scheme of things, and it's better to be safe than sorry.
