Subordinate Relationships

And weak empire may enter into an unequal relationship with a stronger empire, because the stronger is about to destroy them, or because the weak needs protection from other enemies. The stronger empire may also demand tribute (resources, or tech) to pay for the expense of protection.

• Vassal: A vassal runs it's own affairs, except it follows the foreign policy of the stronger empire
• Protectorate: A protectorate leaves the foreign policy and the military to the stronger empire
