Is there a difference between a scout and a spy?

I've seen references in the manual on certain spells saying you wont be able to see the effects without a spy. I've had scouts in provinces but it appears they just give you a rough estimate of troops and thats about it.

Thanks,

spys give more information than scouts. i'm not 100% sure, but i think they give magic sites, income, unrest, and maybe a couple more stats instead of just population.

Do only certain nations get a spy then?

I'm playing Hellheim and have yet to see one.

spies can also cause unrest whilst in a province, if given the right command.

There are other spies:
LA Man (Magister)
LA Ulm (illuminated & 2nd Tier)

There have to be some in EA, right?

I don't know about spies, but there are certainly stealth preachers in EA.

Almost all Helheim (EA) commanders are stealthy, and all of those except the basic scout are also priests, so they're stealthy preachers - but none of them are spies.
