Protectorates – New subject type
This adds a new subject type to the game. The protectorate can be formed from your vassals if they are in any tech group apart from western, eastern or ottoman. This action can only be performed by Western countries (altho this can be altered in the text file). A protectorate acts like a tributary state but also gives their overlord half their trade power. They will not be called into normal offensive wars and will be protected from external attacks. Apart from that they act automomously. In addition they also act like colonies. They only consider their own power relative to their overlord and dont cost a diplo slot, so as long as they dont get too large it can be a good way of controling far off land you dont want to personally protect.
– Update 13/04/2018 – Protectorates now get a 20% bonus to goods produced and 25% provence trade power. Strategic Placement down stream can help funnel wealth to europe. Also changed Protectorate Icon in vassal tab to distinguish vassals from protectorates

Any bugs please let me know, either bellow or in the discussion
~~~ For some reason this mod doesnt seem to be functioning from the zip file the steamworkshop converts it too
If any modders could explain why please comment. See bellow how to make the mod work.
1 Minute workaround:
Go to C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonEuropa Universalis IVmod and unzip the protectorates folder here (or anywhere else prefered). Then in both the protectorates.mod and descriptor.mod just delete the ".zip" in the first line. Then UNSUBSCRIBE to the mod so it wont be overriden when you launch.
3: minute workaround:
I have added a readme file for those who are new to modding or casual players
The readme can be found in the protectorates folder in your steam directory (see bellow) – the process only takes 3 minutes and is fully explained
