Can I add Schleswig to this suggestion? It was a German nationalist uprising the in the mid-19th century that later spiraled into a whole 2 wars. I feel this makes more sense than Gotland, personally.

I also commented that it was very strange they hadn’t included Norway as a revolution option for the Danes and Swedes, but a lot of people on the forum told me those uprisings were supposedly insignificant. Maybe we need the opinion of a genuine forum member living in Sweden or Denmark to confirm whether or not the Norwegian revolution is significant enough to be included in the game.
