The Hungarian UHV counts the tiles owned by each nation in "Europe". It excludes Africa and Middle East, so Arabia can bet Hungary if Arabia spears into Europe (i.e. the Balkans).

Venezia: Have 7 harbours (useful coastal cities) and 13 galleas (tech, production and money) by 1330 (maybe 1350, 1370, has to be tested) would be a nice UHV that sure can be coded (it's a quest in RFC) and reflects the position of Venizia.
If you can't / won't count the arabian, byzanz, ottoman population in europe for the Poland UHV rename it to "have the most population in 1540" and the bug is gone. Having more population than Arabia is easy enough, actually so easy that Poland misses a single difficult UHV.

Whichever way we count it, it should be the same for Hungary and Poland.
Anyway, I've been testing Venice and come up with an idea for the 3 UHVs. I've tried this and its doable on Monarch although you have to tech pretty fast to Shipbuilding and Banking to get the 3rd. one. But it reflects Venice's financial power and requires you to build their UB, the Arsenal (shipyard).
1. Control Constantinople and 1 city in Greece in 1300AD.
2. Control the Dalmatian coast, Sicily, Crete and Cyprus in 1400AD.
3. Build 6 Arsenals and 6 Banks by 1500AD.
What do people think of this?
I disagree with 1500, far to easy. Shipbuilding has very few prereqs, you can have in 1300 at emporer. One prereq of shipbuilding is banking, so you will build the banks while you research shipbuilding, nothing to achieve, you barely can avoid.

EDIT: Like maybe build something historically specific to them. Maybe the Basilica San Marco and 6 Arsenals?
And Banks IMO.
So revise to:
3. Build the Basilica San Marco, 6 Arsenals and 6 Banks.
OK?
Umm...maybe because the French founded colonies at Louisiana and Quebec in RL? Anyway, I think making the player build specific colonies makes the case even more difficult (specific research path + I-must-get-there-first). To leave some place for alt-history, the French can build 2 other whatever colonies. So this is a hybrid of accurate and arbitary.I don't see why France should fail if they get Virginia and New England instead of Louisiana and Quebec.
