Minor Countries

[anweRU]

The towns in a region are yours only if you capture the region capital.

Rhineland = Westphalia. Westphalia is the country's name, Rhineland the region's. As it is a single-region country, it will be destroyed when you take the capital.

You bully or bribe a minor to become your protectorate. I've given them small amounts of money, though in the first case I was testing it, and in the second Westphalia wanted itself to become my protectorate (France, turn 1) for a grand sum of 20 gold!
