Nice find! These are difficult to find as they often don't give any error messages.

Another one is in Norway's history file (has been since MTG DLC came out in 2019 actually )
...\history\countries\NOR - Norway.txt

At the very end there is a missing }

As far as I see, brackets for scripted effect ITA_start_civil_war_effect has closing bracket in line 1930. Could you please double-check if this script ends there on your side?

The closing bracket in 1930 is opened in line 1792, as part of
#RDS = { #MM: Error dog will complain I cannot stand it
by the indentment it is obvious that it wasnt designed that way, but Notepad++ doesn't lie with coloring brackets.
Maybe that is the whole reason why "errordog wont stop complaining"

Notepad++ recognizes bracket from line 1792 as valid, when it is commented out? Interesting, gonna check that.

Oh snap, you are right. My bad. This is commented out. Okay, that might be the reason for this whole confusion!

I've looked myself, yes they indeed look correct, but Notepad++ apparently doesn't care about #commented. There are two of them. If you delete these #commented { the bracket checking starts working properly.
