To continue with the OPs question about "getting rid of" certain factions... is this a simple matter of giving ownership of all that faction's provinces to another faction?

Say, for example, I really wanted to get rid of the &#$*@$ Egyptians altogether. If all the Egyptian cities were given to the rebel faction, what would happen to the family members in those cities? Would they become rebel family members? What about the underage children that were part of the Egyptian royal family? Would they "mature" into Rebel family members? And at the beginning of the game, would the message "Faction Destroyed -- Egypt" pop up?

Just curious. Cuz if all I have to do is change city ownership to rebels in order to get rid of Egypt, those $#@%@#$% are gone, man. So gone.
