Let's petition for a "Pretty borders CB" 
Byzantium always seem to focus on expanding, while completely ignoring Muslim blobs that are just around the corner.
Forming Scandinavia should be hard for a player. But it seems that even AI can do it easily. In my recent game, I held 90% of de-jure Scandinavia before Ragnar Lothbrok came of age. And it's not very hard to do it. After several wars you easily form Sweden. Then you just ask nearby rulers to become your vassals. Only real threat that remains is Denmark. Still, you can beat them in less than a year. When I subjugated Denmark, every nearby Germanic realm (except Saxony) joined me. What can I do with Ragnar Lothbrok now? Pillage England perhaps? Nah....My army can freely loot Constantinople now. Byzantines cannot find a challenge for my army.
And according to that picture above, AI has no problems either to form a super Viking blob.
