Nuremberg! It was bigger than Ulm.

Nuremberg will be there in the upcoming patch (and has probably been seen by some already in the various streams) :)

Bizarrely, the tag for Kilwa in EU4 is ZAN. I think it dates back to when there was just a generic 'Swahili' country there.

It does date to when there was only one tag. As far as I know the ZAN tag is a legacy from the time when tag was called Zanj in EU2 rather than being derived from Zanzibar.
The reason Mombasa and Malindi start out as independent rather than vassals of Kilwa is that the Kilwan grip over them was pretty weak even in 1444.

(Though this is an abstraction. There are other nations that could be included, some that could be replaced, etc)

Palembang is the most glaring and uncontroversial omission from 1444.

It is my understanding that Baluchistan is not a real country. It is more like the old Swahili tag that represented a bunch of independent countries. If so, it should definitely be broken up. It's in way too strong of a starting position for a fictional country.

How would you split it up then? The area was controlled by various minor tribes we mostly know very little about. The reasons for the current setup are more or less what I stated at the end of this post a little while ago.
I'm not saying we would split it up if we had better information, but if you do have information feel free to share :)
The situation is quite different from the old Swahili tag. While that setup was never ideal it did correspond to the nominal borders of a real state, the Sultanate of Kilwa. The fact that Kilwa didn't really have a very firm grip on most of it is why the setup was changed a couple of patches ago to what we have now (with the most important Kilwan vassals starting out independent since that's a more fitting way to show the de facto situation).

Oceania in general needs more stuff. Maybe even a DLC/expansion of its own. It's probably the most boring region in the game right now, and not just in unmodded EU4; I've yet to see a mod that adds anything much in the way of content down there.

Well, there's this: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?747468-Mod-Conquest-of-Australia

Admittedly all it really does is add some Aboriginal and Maori natives. But if anyone wants to suggest anything specific for the Pacific Islands, I'd be happy to consider adding this kind of stuff to the mod. It's not an area of history I know anything about myself but I'm sure it's fascinating.

Lel I know Isle of Mann had like no man on it, I mean look at its size, but for the strategic position and maybe like a straight to connect Northern Wales, Cumbria, East Scotland and Ulster, also MANX CULTURE. How cool is that! I mean just like Iceland, no pop but you can't deny it's existance.

And yes I must say that I was amazed that anyone from Mann island ever accomplished a thing as a kingdom made out of almost entirely from islands.

If Man gets to exist, so does Jersey ><
