I was playing a game as Russia and it seems like there is some sort of issue with the "absent merchant"/"income bonanza" events that are causing some kind of infinite loop.

Here you can see how the day that the event ends is just increasing with the day.
Also I noticed later in the same game after I had unlocked the idea that gives increased trade steering/inland steering all of my trade nodes that were steering towards inland nodes switched to sea nodes, displaying the power that light ships in the node were granting me, even without being able to send ships to them.


Here I have two inland nodes both steering to an inland node and I'm not receiving the steering towards inland bonus as well as the inland node bonus.
