First, there's a bug and Protectorates are broken. It seems that there's a high probability that if a faction accepts your offer, you'll involuntarily be separated from a larger portion of your bank.

Even without the bug, its seems pointless, as you receive no monetary benefit for the Protectorate and its not necessarily going to held you defend against attack, yet you as the Protector are *supposed* to defend it. Not sure if there are any penalties if you dont' come to their aid.

That's all I can figure from the comments of others.

Luck!
It was kinda a lighthearted rhetorical question , but thanks. It confirms what I guessed when the Parthians wanted 40000 kronkites for them to accept me as their conquerer.
