    Protectorates are separate factions, but with very close ties to their protectee.
    Diplomatically speaking, they are an alliance with military rights. So yes, you would declare war with Britain as well.

    However, they are still independant, and you won't be able to tell them what to do.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Sounds like the worst of both worlds...they can get you into a war but you can't tell them what to do!

    Well, that's the same with all alliances.

    basically an alliance, quite possibly they give a portion of their income to their protector as well.

    In earlier games, any money over a certain point was given to the protector. In ETW, I havent seen any evidence of that (I have 3 protectorates) basically you gain vision of what they see, and they live to serve you. They will fight if you ask, and if they can.
