Summary
Italian Leadership in CongoDescription
When forming Central Europe and then creating colonies in Africa via the Journal Entry you get colonies with North Italian as part of their primary cultures. If Italy hasn't formed they can start a leadership play between them in the middle of Africa without any Italian pop or homeland in a 2000 mile radius. I think starting an Italian leadership play should require any involved nation to at least own one Italian homeland or some sort of check like that.I selected a 7 on the "player pain" scale because of the physical pain from laughing this bug caused to me.
Steps to reproduce
1. Form Central Europe (I did Austria -> Germany -> Central Europe), if you start as an Italian nation and form Italy inbetween it might not work, haven't checked if there is a global flag that checks for Italian Leadership being resolved or something similar2. Use the Establish Colonial Administration Journal Entry to create Colonies with your primary cultures in Africa
3. Wait for them to start fighting over Italian Leadership

1. Download attached save, load it (I'm only using graphical mods so loading it shouldn't be an issue) and unpause, Italian Leadership should start immediately on March 2nd (save is one day before that)
