My new game (gameID=3541735) started in a very strange way.
Karelia, an unplayable AI country, started with troops in other, faraway countries:
1) Florida (South USA).
2) Western Sahara (Morocco).
3) Slovenia (Yugoslavia).
These provinces flipped to Karelia immediately, as the game started. The units were there to begin with. Karelia had no time to move them.
There may have been other incursions that lost, so they had no effect on the map, but at least 3 provinces were flipped, none of them neighboring Karelian core lands.
An interesting bug.
