1	* Certain headlines from the in-game newspapers certainly count:
2	** "The public is advised to be on the lookout for a man [[DastardlyWhiplash with a large moustache, a top hat and a black opera cloak]]."
3	** [[WorstNewsJudgmentEver "Sombero width at an all-time high."]]
4	* French Guyana is considered to be a part of France (just like in real life). Attempts to conquer it result in the colony being named, for example, "Dutch France".
5	* With a little know-how, you can play as an island of ''polar bears''. Seriously.
6	** And with some cheats, '''you can start conquering human countries'''.
7	* For whatever reason, ISIS decided to photoshop the ''Victoria'' map [[http://i.imgur.com/THDGjYz.jpg to show their plans for a pan-Islamic state.]] [[https://i.imgur.com/w9HEByP.jpg Then the modders got wind of this.]]
8	* In the leaked build of ''Victoria 3'', the loading screens had a series of amusing quotes from the devs (presumably to be replaced by actual historical quotes when the game is released):
9	--> ''"[[Franchise/LordOfTheRings A designer is gone exactly when you need him]]"'' - Johan Lerström
10	--> ''"What is happiness?''. - Henrik R. Hansson
11	--> ''"Terrorism is the main thing.'' - Mikael Andersson
12	--> ''"More startup errors is always good"'' - Emil Djupfeldt
13	--> ''"This is the closest vote since Trains vs Freedom of Speech"'' - Rufus Tronde
14	--> ''"The horror! The horror!"'' - Veronica Pazos
15	--> ''"My first royal decree is to ban anime"'' - Johan Jons (18th January 1871)
16	--> ''"Existence seems to be a very abstract concept"'' - Daniel Tolman
17	--> ''"Silence, liberal!"'' - Niklas Lehmkuhl
18	--> ''Did you know that Paul Depre, former QA Lead of Victoria 3, has a degree in economics?''
19	--> ''Victoria 3 is a very apolitical game.''
20	--> ''"We are almost a whole species."'' - Aron Nisbel
21	--> ''"He will not reach an old age because I'm going to arbitrarily kill him off after a year or so."'' - Daniel Tolman
22	--> ''"I wonder which country or ethnic group I will remove next..."'' - Daniel Tolman
23	--> ''"The Opium Wars were really fun."'' - Hans Magne Jaatun
24	--> ''"Shouldn't we remove these fun quotes and add real immersion ones soon?"'' - Mr.X
25	* [[https://i.imgur.com/EU4vvMR.png The flavor text for the event on completing the Philosophy Department mission]] in ''3'' is a parody of the [[{{Memes/RickAndMorty}} Rick and Morty copypasta]]:
26	-> ''You have to be very intelligent to understand dialectics. The method is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of continental philosophy most of it will go over a typical undergraduate's head. There's also Hegel's master-slave dialectic, which is deftly woven into his work — his personal philosophy draws heavily on Kantian literature, for instance. Hegelians understand this stuff, they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depth of his work, to realize that it's not just logos, it says something deep about life.''
27	* The flavor text for the Dyeworks Accident event in 3 mentions repeatedly how workers "dyed"...
28	-> "Several workers dyed today at the [state name] dyeworks, when an industrial-sized tub of hot dye accidentally spilled out over the workshop floor and the unsuspecting workers. Locals are upset about the incident, claiming that the poor safety regulations in the hot and dangerous workplace are to blame for the accident, and are urging the government to take action. As rescue workers left the scene, several workshop employees were left dyeing."
29	--> Option 1: We shall all dye sooner or later.
