Bolivar seems to fit the mechanic perfectly and is nowhere to be found yet. I'll stick to my view that Kosciusko would have been a better pick than Lafayette. Eastern Europe is completely untouched to this point.
Let's hope that means we can get alternate leaders for (Gran) Colombia, more so now that non-ruler leaders are allowed.
I would suggest the following:
-Policarpa Salavarrieta (Independence era woman, fighter and spy for the revolutionary forces of Simón Bolívar. Was executed by the Spanish during the war (two years before the end of the war in her region) and became the personification of Colombia up to the present)
-Antonio Nariño (One of the first independence leaders of New Granada/Colombia, first to translate the declaration of rights of the French Revolution into Spanish and was captured by the Spanish for doing that. Vicepresident of (Gran) Colombia)
-Francisco de Miranda (Venezuelan revolutionary. Participated in the American, French and Venezuelan/Colombian revolutions)
-Manuela Sáenz (Ecuadorian partner of Simón Bolívar and de facto First Lady of Colombia. She found foreign alliances for the revolution and saved Simón Bolívar from assasination quite a few times)
-José Celestino Mutis (Spanish colonial era scientist and botanist. He was one of the main representatives of the Spanish Enlightenment and led the Royal Botanical Expedition in New Granada. He settled definitely in New Granada and helped creating a sense of early independence in Colombia. He is remembered in both Colombia and Spain (he appeared on Spanish bills before the Euro was introduced)
Not having Simón Bolívar opens up the posibility of having other Colombian/Venezuelan leaders and show other faces of the history of Colombia, which is much, much more than Simón Bolívar
