We all had those moments when you are playing as Bahamanis and the map of europe is revealed and it all looks weird with Aachen controlling northern France and Trebizond controlling all of Anatolia, so what was your weirdest reveal of Europe when you were playing outside Europe?
What was your weirdest "Playing Outside Europe" reveal?

The few things that comes in my mind is Spain holding PU over Portugal and GB while both being loyal. France got dismantled mainly by provence, just only to form France himself later. Milan forming Italy and holding strong. Pope own all except one province in the whole italy region (last province was hold by his ally Austria). And the latest one I encountred was Ragusa forming Croatia while holding strong.
Ages ago, shortly after Art of War came out, I was playing in Indonesia, when I received a popup that the HRE emperor had revoked the privilegia.
And this HRE emperor was ULM.

a massive burgundy that owned half of the somhow dispanded hre while having most of france (france was still alive but like 4 provinces)
In a 1.28.3 game I was playing I believe Mongolia in the mid 1500s when I got a message that the HRE had disbanded. Apparently no one was eligible and since the AI no longer converts, everything had flipped.

This was my weirdest. Cleves, Ditmarschen, Pomerania, Milan, Ragusa all holding major amounts of territory.
I had and Ethiopia game where Spain had somehow managed to pu both France and England before aswell as conquering most of italy before 1550.
Turn out to be a great help vs the ottomans...

Ethiopian Africa run. I look north and see that The Ottomans and Bohemia are allies, and I managed to ally The Ottomans. Bohemia and I become tenuous allies (distance does that), and I see that they've conquered much of Germany and Poland, and are using their tech advantage to consistently beat back and conquer parts of Russia. They aren't even calling in Ottos. They're just rushing in, lining up Russians, and firing. Also, got an accidental PU over France. Aragon decided to challenge me to a war over it. The attrition destroyed his stacks.
Might add to this. I saw Iberia look weird. Portugal was exiled in the Caribbean with some land in Portugal, Granada was a catholic nation and an ally to Aragon and a rival to a tiny Castile which was being absorbed into Aragon. Morocco had some land in Andalusia. An Iberian coalition of Portugal (Brazilian culture), Aragon, Castile and Granada. Morocco lost.
In my last game as Madyas, France was ruled by the de' Medicis while Austria was ruled by the Hohenzollerns (Brandenberg-Prussia's House) and were Protestant. I deemed it highly cursed and cried for three hours. Also, the Ottomans were part of the Catholic side and they STILL lost!
Then there's the not-quite-REVEAL, but what happened later, where my ally Britain suddenly didn't answer when Ming China decided that Taiwan was actually Chinese and they were going to use their French Medici allies, who wanted New Madyas (Mexico), to beat me into the ground. I was ready to fight with my pal Britain... but I found I had a truce with them instead, but I didn't get a message that they dishonored the call. I investigated, and they had become the junior partner of HOLLAND. Not even through the super-rare event, just... naturally.
I used some *ahem* temporal magic to undo the PU (I had actually given up and allied Russia, they just got a real heir that time.) but I do have the proof of France/Austria's dynasty.
Please ignore the fact I am currently getting destroyed by France/Spain (campaign-killer, sadly...), and also what I have done to the Ottomans.

I was doing a sunset invasion run and no europeans in sight for a really long time. The only one showing up was GBR which I was able to beat back.
When I finally found Europe it became clear why non of the usual suspects wanted me dead.
Portugal was eaten entirely by Morocco.
Castille was killed by Aragon which couldn't form Spain because their ally Morocco held iberian provinces.
I only got to see the blue blob for a few years then it was integrated into a 2k dev PLC.
The only roadblock left for me was building enough ships to outrun the royal navy.

I'm doing a Nadj game curently. GB got a PU on Portugal and Russia. Bohemia ate poland and lituania. Austria got the burgundian land and conquered most of north and east France but lost Vienna and his usual land. The emperor is Nassau wich is the only possible elector.
I know it's not europe but in this run Aniou conquered most of Japan.

Ah, looking at how the Papal States were eating Austria in my last screenshot reminded me that Venice also became a monarchy under a PU with France.
Here's one cursed France. I was playing in India with a friend, and by the 1590s we finally saw Europe, and... well. France is in total anarchy, carved up by the local minors.
Liege and Provence got lucky, but Berry in Normandy and a gorgeous Dauphine colour?
