Added DiffLines:
* The cheat in [=EU II=] for "always win battles" is "[=DIFrules!=]". DIF is a hockey team in Stockholm, where Creator/ParadoxInteractive is located. Said cheat also changes your country's flag to that of the DIF hockey team.
* In ''[=EU III=]'', once Aragón learns about said province, it can get the mission [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings "Become King of Gonder"]]. Yeah, notice what they did there... ''Heir to the Throne'' expanded on the theme with the addition of the Turkish Beylik of Saruhan... and their flag featuring a white hand. (Needless to say, Aragon now can get "Defeat Saruhan" as a mission, too). These 2 missions made a return in [=EU IV=].
* [=EU III=] and [=EU IV=] have an event called "A visit from some shady people", with two options "It's an offer..." [[Film/TheGodfather "... that we can refuse, actually."]]
* [=EU IV=] also has the description of the Spanish Inquisition national idea: [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus No one expected it.]]
** And with the release of Art of War, Canadians now have Singing Lumberjacks.
* If you have Plutocracy idea group in [=EU IV=], there is one event that is basically a reference to ''Film/{{Braveheart}}''.
* A flavour event that triggers when Paris becomes Swedish culture references the forum Website/SomethingAwful, which several developers frequent and Johan has described as "the best forum I'm not an administrator of".
* The Hashashin (if you imported them from CK 2)'s first national idea is something about a [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Creed]].
* In [=EU4=], Venice can get a mission to expand into mainland Italy. Where? [[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet In fair Verona, where we lay our scene.]] (There's a high probability that you won't get this mission due to the fact that at 1444 start Venice already owns Verona.)
* The description for transport ships goes like this: "[[Videogame/{{Civilization}} Everybody knows that soldiers simply cannot turn into boats.]]"
* Both [=EU3=] and [=EU4=] have an event called [[Literature/FearAndLoathingInLasVegas Fear and Loathing in (capital)]]. In the latter, at least, some of the options for the event chain reference lines from ''Literature/TheShining''.
** In [=EU4=], it's possible to get an event that decreases unjustified demands called Justify my War, with the text [[{{Music/Madonna}} "For you, to justify my..."]]
* In [=EU4=], when you are the Holy Roman Emperor, and you win a war in defence of the empire, a possible acceptance option of the announcement that you've earned Imperial Authority from [[BigDamnHeroes coming to the rescue]] is [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi "I have foreseen it!"]]
* In [=EU4=], countries involved in colonialism can get an event which sparks a boom in emigration to the colonies, fueled by the sentiment: "[[Film/BladeRunner A new life awaits you in the colonies!]]"
* [=EU4=] has an event where one parliamentary seat changes their stance on the issue selected, and the only selection for the event says: "[[{{Series/HouseOfCardsUK}} You may very well think that. I couldn't comment."]]
* One of Bavaria's ideas talks about how there is [[{{Film/DrStrangelove}} a conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.]]

* The ''Mare Nostrum'' achievement for corrupting officials in a rival nation, "Just Resting In My Account," even features Series/FatherTed in the icon.
* One possible Russian dynasty name is [[Literature/TheMasterAndMargarita Woland]].
* The achievement for restoring the Danelaw to England is called [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire "The Iron Price"]].
