Still haven't been able to play the latest version of this but I must say that from what I've played of the second newest one this is great! 
One thing though:
The later parts of EU2 saw the comming of nation states and such with more centralized states and so on, shouldn't for instance the union of Kalmar and the Hanseatic League get options to reshape themselves into some sort of kingdoms/nations as the game commences (if it's not in allready admitedly I've not played the latest version and I've not yet finnished my entire first game as the UoK). With the current settup I kind of get the feeling of being stuck in the middle ages as time commences, wouldn't the kings, leaders, etc of the union have tried to create a more modern nation state given the opertunity rather than a union of states? (possibly with a brand new cool flag as well
and probably with some conditions along the lines of having to have reconquered norway for instance)
Same with the hanseatic league, if it's expanded into a real state, wouldn't a change of the constitution from a union of merchant cities have been in order?
Also norway seems a bit too weak to me in the july 9th beta (but that depends really on how powerfull you want it to be I suppose).
Again, great scenario, I love alternate history!
