Truly Hostile Coring

[Frozen Yakman]

Taken from a different suggestion thread:

This could be seen as an alternative to increased coring cost or in addition to increased coring cost:

1) Never Surrender: gives the province an unrest modifier equal to ceiling(cost modifier / 10) (i.e. 50% hostile coring cost gives 5 unrest). This modifier is permanent until the hostile core is revoked
2) Strength of the Underclass: gives the province a rebel strength modifier equal to the cost + 100% (i.e. 50% hostile coring cost means that when rebels spawn, 50% more rebels appear than normal (20 rebels normal = 30 rebels with the modifier)). This modifier affects all kinds of rebels spawned from the province
3) Whispers inflame rebellion: Neighboring hostile cores give an unrest modifier equal to the number of neighboring hostile cores from the same country, this modifier doubles after the printing press is invented. So if you conquer three provinces in a line from Bohemia, the two endpoints would get +1(+2 with print press) unrest; while the center point would get +2 (+4 with printing press) unrest.

This would make revoking cores a very important war goal.

Yeah, but too bad, you can't revoke cores on their primary culture. You would be stuck with unrest until you conquer them completly and then culture convert.
But this:

1) Never Surrender: gives the province an unrest modifier equal to ceiling(cost modifier / 10) (i.e. 50% hostile coring cost gives 5 unrest). This modifier is permanent until the hostile core is revoked

would make culture conversion impossible forever. (you can't culture convert while seperatism)

This is part of the reason why the modifier isn't separatism and a separate thing.
