There are no provinces with local modifiers for paper production at start but some might appear during the game depending on how the game plays out (including but not limited to the existing event for the house of Elzevir).

Glassmaking was in many ways still in its infancy in 1444 and at start only a few provinces worldwide produce glass (mostly in Europe, though some exist in Anatolia and India as well). In time glass would become an important trade good however, not only as a luxury product, but also due to the development of optics.
To show the importance of Venetian Glass the existing Murano Glass industry modifier has been changed to a permanent province modifier that increases the Glass production of the island of Venice.

Many provinces do not export the more refined products we cover in the game in any greater quantities. Livestock will take the place of Grain and Wool in many parts of the world. It provides a more fitting trade good for some regions dominated by pastoralists as well as agricultural regions that did not specialize in grain and cereal.
