1.) Hmm, that's strange indeed. Maybe they've held Portugal for a long time, perhaps? Even the rebellious provinces settle down (somewhat) after you've owned them for a while.

2.) Bah; you can never have too many.

3.) Yeah, the HRE does have a penchant for just sitting there and not doing a whole lot. It's almost as if their AI is programmed to become timid once it's reduced to a certain number of provinces. As a few of us were discussing in another thread, they usually need a bit of luck to survive and prosper.
