If I remember correctly most of them are. For 10 turns I think. And the ones that arent are downplayed to the point that you almost have to take the extreme settings which could translate as "just plain asking for it" to get the worst ones to kick in. But this is foggy memory stuff.
And we do have a game setting for random events. Isnt there a thread somewhere here that tested all that?
The only test I ever did on this stuff was turning ALL scales to the worst possible settings to make maximum use of blessings (achieving all 4's and a couple 9's) and being very surprised that my capital didnt totally crumble in the early part of the game.
