My take on this , from what little we actually know, is that when a province rebels it becomes a nation and when your Capital rebels you have a revolution.
We know that you have a choice of the side to take in Revolutions and you may just have to put up with the end result if your forces loose.
We also know that if the American Colonies Rebel you may be able to play as them. The same may be true of other provinces, or even all of them…That would be why each province has its own Rebel Faction.
Of course I am only guessing here but I think that if you have conquered, for example ,France and it rebels then you have a reemerging faction on your hands, just like in old MTW.
On the other hand, I am wondering if there may be some special rebels. Like the Jacobites for example, which could crop up in a number of provinces.
I do recall a thread I looked at on the official site that said Ireland could become a nation. We also have a little blurb saying Scotland can become a nation. If the Jacobites are actually in the game this would not be the case if they were the winners. It would be a change in Kingship. It could be a tool for the French, Spanish, or even the Austrians to undermine Brittan with, or just a random event.
We have them hinted at in several places but what actually happens, at least for me, is wide open to speculation.
If we are very lucky it may be something some of our CA members can clarify. If it is a deep dark secret I suppose the final proof will come in March.
I could have easily missed some crucial phraseology in an article some where.
