Caught between a rock and a hard place.

No clue what to make of this, but I'll take it.

Lithuania just didn't want to leave Norway hanging until Norway was free even when Poland got the PU.
Must be fun to have your subject in a war without you (that is not a colonial nation).

This is very odd behavior to be honest. Generally PU'd countries immediately white peace out.

Don't get your hopes up... Recently had them form really early and I protected them from all sides but they never reformed until 1700. Ended my game there...

I mean, there is definitely nothing strange in the player getting a PU over Austria if they are allied. That's pretty legit, even if it is lucky that this happens this quickly. But statistically, there was probably more than 1/2 chances to have it before game ends if they are allied the entire game.


As for "islands" for institution spawn, it only requires not to be a one province island, tooltip is unclear. Everything is an island, to some degree ^^. Area also apparently refers to landmasse, not area in game term.

Well, it is purely subjective then. So everything can be called an island.
