I think giving the United Kingdom of the Netherlands a seperate tag would be good, even if it's only for about 15 years. You might even want to give them Waloon culture for that short period. It can always be removed for the the actual Dutch nation when it appears.
Speaking of VR, are the elections any better? I was rather annoyed with Victoria as it fails to stimulate post-Napoleonic politics at all. I've never seen ANY reactionary party get elected. It rather defeats the purpose of Conservative Europe when Reactionary parties get no support. I created this event to hopefully alievate it, but it should probally be made a global event (like the liberal revolution) to show how Europe was until the 1830s.
And of course, an event to end it.
Not sure if they would work correctly though, or last long enough to actually effect politics. I've also created some more events for France. Mostly flavor, although the election events serve to ensure the historical parties are appointed. They aren't nessesarily needed, but it does make the "elections" more dynamic.
