Playing is a start but depending on what you do you'll want to check forums/wiki/gamefiles to learn how some things work. Things like idea group based events and poo poo aren't communicated by the UI at all.
Even after all this time I don't understand some systems fully:

Does this mean EU Rome 2 is a thing or is Johan wearing a Total War shirt just to be a jerk?

O'er the sea from the north
there sails a ship
With the people of Hel
at the helm stands Loki
After the wolf
do wild men follow
Johan is a jerk.

I'm sure it's just because it's an akward screengrab or photo taken at an inopportune time but Johan looks like he really doesn't want to be there...

Did you lose a bet or something?

Yet again goons are confused by seeing a face that isn't their own reflected in their monitor, "Why isn't he emoting like my favourite anime? Based on the expression he must be a serial killer".

Obviously you guys missed the discussion about Wiz pulling a serial killer face that went on in the Stellaris thread for like 5 pages.

Seriously, that's just regular resting face though.

Johan was staring at the ground during most of his presentation on the history of Europa Universalis' development, but that was okay since it was still an interesting presentation with lots of neat info and stories. Just, you know, no eye contact.

If you had stolen that many secrets from canceled spin-offs, your eyes would be weighed down with guilt as well.

one of the reasons Icelanders are ostracized and not considered scandinavian is our frequent smiles and joyful nature

Icelandic peacekeepers in Afghanistan bonded with tribesmen there via their shared love of eatin' sheepsheads

Apparently they don't char them? They seemed to like it well enough, Icelandic style

peacekeepers =/= soldiers

Cops are also not armed, with the only exception being our SWAT equivalent.

Yes but Jan Mayen gets Iceland and Greenland as part of the "polar bear treaty".
