Actually, LA Ermor and R'lyeh are broken, not because of their abilities, but because of what they do to the game. Whoever starts next to them has no choice but to fight them because of the horrible effects of their dominion. If you get into a war with them, and win, you will have nothing to show for it because of the fact that there dominion slowly dies off. All you will have is empty, useless provinces, no reward to show for your efforts, whereas, if you fought another nation, their provinces would provide you with a monetary and resourceful bonus.
