Just finished an EEP GC as England (of course, I kicked patoot, even on Very Hard, it's hard to not kick patoot as England).
I noticed a few bizarre events that were total malaprops. Specifically, any and all events that referred to a "Revolution" (presuming the French Revolution). There was no France. There had not been a France since the early 1500s. That territory had been long ago partitioned between England and Burgundy. Burgundy was undergoing no "Revolution" at all. Austria? Remarkably stable. Spain? Stable. North America? Still firmly and happily attached to Mother England. The same for South Africa, All of southern India, Australia, and a few islands in the East Indies.
But what about domestic policy? It was as "Free Subjects" as the game allowed and had been for at least two centuries! Likewise, Centralization was moderate. Plutocracy was the order of the day, etc.
Thus, the "Revolution"-related events were completely without context, without meaning, and utterly out of place. It would have been no less bizarre had I been given an event which announced a French Concordat with the Vatican (especially since Austria had conquered Roma around 1650).
