So, here's an alternate-history scenario exported from CK that I edited to use in my EU2 AAR. Basically, Hungary is very powerful, the British Isles are much more divided than before, Scandinavia is united at the start, France is very, very divided, the Muslims got expelled from Spain, there's a crusader state in the Mid-East and North Africa (roughly Algeria + Morocco) is Catholic/Arab.

here are some screenshots and a description:
There are 2 wars going on at the start of the game, and two-three more are very likely to erupt. Essentially, the English are engaged in civil war, as at the end of the CK game, the de Montgomery family (duchies in Germany, vassals of the English) had just deposed the de Cornouaille as the royal family of England. The idea is, Scotland, Ireland, York and Normandy want independence, Cornwall is where the de Cornouaille family fled to raise an army to take back their throne. The other countries agree to allow the de Cornouaille's to rule England if they win the war, but the English Kingdom would be greatly reduced. The English Kingdom at the start has claims on all of the UK and northern France, and has French as a second culture. At the start of the game, they get an event where they either surrender (and the de Cornouaille will rule, they lose all claims on France and UK and lose French culture, and lose alot of provinces) or they fight. If they fight and win, they get to keep the claims+culture, if they lose, the same thing happens as if they'd surrendered, and if nobody wins, it ends in a tie and return to the status quo.
The second war, between the Seljuks and the Kingdom of Jerusalem, is also carried over from CK. The Seljuks had invaded the Kingdom and drove them from Syria, Lebanon and Palestine (although in CK the Kingdom did manage to hold Jerusalem...). Within this alternate history, the Seljuk Turks have largely assimilated with the Greeks in the Byzantine Empire, and are now Turkish in name only. There are some elements of their empire (Candar and Dulkadir) who are still Turkish and want to rule over Anatolia and settle it with their people. There are also enclaves of Orthodox Georgians (Armenia) and Arabic-Catholics (Armenia Minor) who also want independence. These countries are essentially waiting for Jerusalem to win so they can break free from the Seljuks. So, if Jerusalem starts to do well (retakes Palestine), these countries will break their vassal ties with the Seljuks and declare war on them. However, if the Seljuks take the rest of Palestine and reach Egypt, they win the war and all these 4 countries are annexed/crushed.
Meanwhile, in Spain and France, the Occitans (south French) have spread to central France and northern Spain. Toulouse is the leader of the main Occitan alliance (a group of southern French Occitan countries) and will most likely begin a war with the main French alliance (led by Orleans and includes the French states). In Spain, the native Iberians have been pushed to the mountains in the north (Castile) and to Valencia (Aragon), and the remaining states are Occitan or a mix of Iberian and Occitan. Most of southern Spain is still Arabic, so although Portugal (whose Occitan King wishes to unite all of Spain under his rule) has both Occitan and Iberian culture and has many provinces, most of theirs are Arabic and are not as rich. Two alliances exist here, (the Iberians and the Occitans, although Portugal is a part of neither and hates both) and war is likely to erupt.
In Russia, the muslims have been largely pushed out, and there are six or so states, each trying to unite Russia. Novgorod and Potolsk are the only Catholic ones amongst them, the others are all Orthodox. Astrakahan and Crimea are both Russian/orthodox states, although their flags and sprites make them seem arabic. Georgia is much larger than in real life and is Georgian/Orthodox as well.
The Kingdom of North Africa, invaded by Italians in CK and assimilated, have largely become Arabic-Catholics much like the Seljuk Turks became Greeks. They rule most of North Africa, but Tripoli is still around as an arabic/muslim country.
There are also alliances of pro-Hungarian Germans (German kingdoms with Hungarian rulers) in northern Germany, an alliance of Dutch countries (the Germans have colonized most of the modern Netherlands, so the Dutch are restricted to coastal areas and Belgium) and the Papal States are vassals of Hungary
