Also I believe if you have unlocked Scotland's 4th idea, 'Comets?' you can avoid the stability hit.
No, its just -10% stability cost. Would be funny though:
- Och! Nice and shiny! -
*This option is available because:
- the country is: Scotland✅
- have unlocked the National Idea "Comets?" ✅*
Effect: 50 points in random category.
All the negative options are unavailable.

Should also add Average Monarch Lifespan +25% due to vitamin D influx from shiny comet. Probably equivalent to half a year's worth of Scottish 'sun'.

The worst thing is that we don't have enough options to choose from to get -1 stab.
My favourite options are:

The Comets? idea technically isn't just -10% stability cost; it also makes the Comet Sighted event less likely to occur. You're right that it does nothing when the event does occur, though.

6th comet. Astronomical wonder. Seems EU4 is in another star system from earth.

Well, according to the really fervent Christians, the earth is only 5,500 years old at that time.

It took millions if not billions to clear out all the debris in its orbit. Naturally you'll see a lot of comets in this timeline.

It's 1501; I have yet to see a single comet. I am clearly behind the curve for here. Although, I have had a Natural Scientist employed for most for that time.

Be careful, you might jinx yourself.

More fervent than St Augustine, who thought the universe was much older?
