Hi, I'm doing an NEA as well, but for China in the 20th Century. I think having 9 rebellions isn't excessive, as long as you stay within the word limits. Although, in your description, you say you have 3 rebellions for each factor, have you ensured these cover the entirety of the 16th century? I don't know if your NEA has to do this, but I know in my NEA I can't miss out a ruler of China, or a period of time as I'll otherwise lose time.
