Update:
1575, Religous turmoil has finally over for the most part, though revolts are still common, they tend to be for other stuff.
Not tooo much expansion in the colonies.
In the homelands I took Norway and vassalized the remaining province (couldn't annex for some reason)
Also gained a bit in germany, between vassal integrations, wars and what not.
The Poles and Frogs have gone at each other a couple times, for now I'm siding with France.
Don't know what happened to the ottoman empire, but I think pressure must of got to it and collapsed, massive rebelling as far as I could tell. Though a few years before the rebellion france war decced it and had the whole country at one point.
