You guys should wait to see what Dom II looks like first. It's not just a little upgraded Dom I interface with few more buttons, but completely remade interface that has massively reduced micromanagement. Those filters you ask for are COMPLETELY unnecessary. As for unrest, that’s why F1 button is. You can see all the provinces with unrest, and tax rates (which you can change from that screen) among other things. Also you can see all the commanders in those provinces and give them orders from there. All one screen!

One other significant improvement over Dom I is the way you can give orders to your commanders. You just place pointer over commander and press e.g. shift+r to set him to research. You can practically give different orders to 28 commanders (that’s how many can fit on one screen) in one province within 2-3 seconds.
It sounds really cool. It's hard to get a feel for the interface through just looking at screenshots, even though they do tell you something. What you're talking about with the F1 key seems to do what I was wanting a filter to do: show you all your provinces so you can see which ones need patrolling, etc.
