Dutch Revolt & the United Provinces
One of the new situations planned for Europa Expanded for EU5 is the Dutch Revolt situation. Anyone familiar with the EU4 vanilla Dutch Revolt, or even our Europa Expanded Dutch Revolt, will know roughly the idea of such a situation. Considering the time gap between the conflicts of the state of Burgundy and the Dutch States though, there are different liberties taken within the representation of this situation.

To represent the dynamics of the conflict as it happened historically, the situation will slowly advance into new phases, where different interactions, and conflicts, will be unlocked for the situation.

Unrest Phase - The first stage of the revolt, where the numerous locations and subjects in the Low Countries will slowly band together to try to create a unified revolt against whoever they consider the strongest external threat in the Low Countries. The rivals, as well as neighbors, of this overlord country can also play a role into this, stirring up trouble by arming the locals, or even sending economical aid to bolster the power of the revolting states.

Revolt Phase - Je Maintiendrai! The United Provinces have finally been formed, and are ready to combat their overlords, trying their best to maintain the sovereignty of the Dutch State. During this phase, the overlord will mainly deal with trying to cull down the rebellion. Meanwhile, the Dutch and their allies will fight for their freedom in a series of conflicts, while simultaneously using a plethora of new interactions. Hiring privateers from all around Europe, foreign mercenaries, inviting foreign princes… all of that will be available to try to bolster your position in the Low Countries.
