I played a sit-and-watch game as Switzerland (got my cores back from Savoy, then only participated in wars where I was called in, and took no territory or vassals). Weirdness ensued.

That's Scotland in Ireland, Gotland in lots of places, Milan in Greece and Moldavia, Egypt in Athens ... The HRE had Croatia and Milan and just didn't wait long enough to pass the last reform for some reason. Also Milan used to own Serbia and Albania and Bulgaria.

Nothing too weird here; some nice strong showings from Persia, Bahmanis, Yemen, Bukhara, Manchu. I like that Wu colonized the Philippines.

Japan colonizing the New World is a rarity because they don't take exploration, and by the time the Terra Incognita in Alaska is lifted, Western Powers usually have snagged it all.

Stronkest Circassia. Not something you see everyday. Nogai also managed to win a war, and not get eaten by Kazan.

Oh Trier.

I can completely explain what happened in the Balkans. So, the Ottomans declared war on Cyprus, who was Catholic, and Austria was defender of the Faith. At that point, I was in my second war with the Ottomans, and took some land. Cyprus took two provinces, made the Ottomans release Athens, and made them release Albania. Bosnia, who had owned Montenegro and Serbia from an earlier war with Serbia, conquered Albania. I'll update you on what happens later in this crazy, crazy world.

Good luck finding all anomalies. There are some extra provinces and new tags, but that's it. The only new tag that achieved something there is Montferrat (OPM in NW Italy at th start).
Enjoy. More to come.

Why not find out? By definition an antipode is the furthest away one can be. And according to that, you could only get further away as an Indonesian nation or an Australian Colonial nation. There you go.

I didn't feel like waiting for them to die, because they were still pretty strong and could of easily beaten the rebels. Currently I'm in my third war with them, and Venice is at war with them too. I wait for them to lose their navy and become weak so I can block the Strait of Marmara.
