Give cultural unions and primary nations more cores at the start of the game

[Friedrich von Deutschland]

This is to prevent a late game issue where a lack of potential revolter nations hurts gameplay by giving the player no way to cut their competitors down to side other than outright conquest. Realistically Ireland would have cores on Ireland and Hindustan would have cores in India. For cultural unions there should be some prerequisites to a revolt such as owning X percent of that nations cores and not being within the same culture group. I feel this would make the late game more engaging by letting nations which are unlikely to be formed by the AI come into existence via revolution against a foreign power. Also cultural union cores should work like primary nation cores: if the core is located on a province of that culture group it is permanent.

Hindustan never existed in Reality before the Indians were taken over and Unified by outside forces....as for Ireland perhaps....it did exist 4 or more hundred years before it fell into princely states.... or at least according the the Irish it did... there is actually no historic basis of this in the history books.... I personally think that Ireland needs to be split up into at least 4 more provinces, whether these are different princely states or not is moot.

The idea is that these nations will never appear unless outside forces conquer the majority of the region. Germany conquered by france: chance of revolting and forming germany, India conquered by britain: chance of revorting and forming Hindustan, etc.

Except their chance of Revolting successfully is usually nill anyway...and as for enemies forcing them to release it... You'd never have in a million years enough war score to force England to Release India, or France all of Germany, maybe that part of Germany they conquered if it was like 2 states or one with low basetax...
I think that if a nation is eaten by another their core should exist for quite a bit longer... and if they're the only nation for that culture that exists at the time that they were eaten it should never disappear.
