Dear Paradox,
I know EUV is on the way, but for EUIV I have a few suggestions. Let me first say I LOVE Your game and have been playing it for over 10 years! So kudos!
Change East-Frisia name to Ostfriesland (many names in the HRE are in the local language, I believe Ostfriesland would be better in that sense, or if you do it in Frisian like you did so well in Fryslân, change it to East-Fryslân).
Strasbourg is still written in the French/English way. In 1444 it was, as you have rightfully created, Swabian, which it should be Strassburg. Just because the French conquered the region, does not mean that historically it was French. The same goes for Müllhausen which is named Mulhouse as a duchy (although it was Swabian/Germanic at the time and that did not change until the 20th century).
The culture in Luxembourg is now qualified as Walloon, although Luxembourg had much more of a Germanic Flemish/Rhenish culture at the time. It heavily Wallooned/Frenchified in the 20th century. So I would probably change their culture to Rhenish or Flemish. They can still be in the Walloon area as they have always had close ties to the surrounding Low Countries.
I would also, for historical purposes, put Picardy, Artois, Calais, Rethel and Cambrais in the Low Countries region instead of the French. Yes, it was eventually conquered and desired by Louis XIV and others, but in 1444 it was very much a part of the Bourgundian and later Spanish Netherlands.
Also a suggestion to change the province name of Upper Guelders to Opper Gelre as that is the Dutch/Flemish name for it.
Lastly, what I think would be cool for The Netherlands, is if you have an option to stay in the HRE (Like Burgundy received). Now, you are automatically leaving the HRE.
