Renaming the Dutch provinces to something accurate

[unmerged(1017)]

Apologies if the IGC already has made this improvement, but could somebody please please please rename the Zeeland province to Holland, and the Holland one into something else (Gelre will probably match closest).

The Hague ('s-Gravenhage) does not lie in Zeeland. In fact, not much does. Also I think we are open for suggestions on what city to put in Gelre. My idea would be Nijmegen.

Well if you look how the country is in this times then, probebly the best thing to do is rename The Hague to Holland and as you, Gwap already suggested call Holland Gelre. But the name of Zeeland is pretty accurate. THe city that is must be in Zeeland be Vlissingen because that was the most important city in that province those days. Filips 2 left the Netherlands from that port just before the 80 years war between Holland and Spain broke out.

Point isn't that Zeeland wasn't important. After Holland the most important province, but... the province in the game is definitely Holland (and the choice of the Hague as city to me is better than using that hell-hole of Amstelveen-Noord).

Maybe we should rename Flanders to Zeeland

Flanders should be vastly enlarged. Brabant should be added. Should also get half Zeeland. Holland should be in the Den Hague province. Zeeland shoule be the coastal part of the EU Zeeland, Holland should be Gelre. And so on. The map is crap but it can't be changed.
