Since 1.0 there has been a Pretender Rebel in Gotland at the 1444 start date. This rebel is to reflect the historical event of Some Guy who made Gotland into a private domain and base for piracy. Historically it wasn't until decades later that Denmark reconquered Gotland.
When 1.0 was released there existed no Gotland tag, so a pretender rebel was the best choice to pick. Nowadays we do have a Gotland tag, and I suggest that this rebel should be made into a nationalist rebel.
The reasoning behind this is that Some Guy historically never invaded the mainland, but instead ruled Gotland independently. Thereby, by changing the rebel into a nationalist rebel, he will secede from the Danish realm and indeed create his own nation to rule. Since nationalism didn't exist as an ideology in the 15th century, there is nothing wrong with making a seperatist into a nationalist rebel. This is both more historically accurate, and from a game-play perspective allow Gotland to exist for a couple of decades until being reconquered by Denmark or an independent Sweden.
