What map mode are you use?

Just normal political map mode, why? My desert/wasteland has never displayed properly and that Syria is ruled by a dynasty that also rules somewhere else so it uses the normal kingdom name, if either of those were why you were asking?

Can I ask who is the purple state near you? It isn't the Byzantine Empire, since it has another shade of purple.

I think it was the Byzantines, to be honest. What shade do you think they normally are?

@Coalsack hey, this is my (horribly bordergore-y accidental HRE) realm about eight years later, I'm pretty sure it was the Byzantine Empire the whole time... I use f.lux on my desktop so perhaps it's that? Other than that I dunno...

Can't be f.lux, it auto-disables in full screen apps.
 
Killing someone who tries to blackmail you hardly qualifies as cruelty in the AGOT or CKII worlds. The trait is gained by torturing prisoners or castrating/blinding toddlers or publicly hanging petty offenders during a summer fair etc.

Or chopping someone's hand off, skinning and castrating prisoners, feeding escaped prisoners to dogs, massacring hundreds of people under your own roof (the precise list goes on...)
 
An unholy Rurikid-Makedon alliance, on top of some random Armenian adventurer carving up an empire in Central Asia, plus a Caliph's nephew with a Socotran wife, among several things, made the Religion distribution much more...pink.

By, the way, about that Armenian adventurer...when most Persian territories became de-jure Byzantines, he ended up forming the Persian Empire with just Transoxiana. His dinasty has also a curious name...
