Please help with verifying or updating this section. As long as the march's development is less than 25% of its overlord's, it receives the following bonuses: The overlord can revoke march status but will suffer a -1 stability hit and a -50 penalty to relations with the former march. Marches gain bonuses to their military power but cannot be diplomatically annexed and do not pay taxes to their overlord. The releasing nation gains +25 prestige, and Jerusalem inherits the culture of the releasing nation.ДЄ suzerain can also change a vassal (including a client state) into a march, which is a special militaristic kind of vassal. When done in ironman mode, this will disable most achievements.ДЄ special case for releasing a country as a vassal is the Kingdom of Jerusalem, that can be released as a vassal through a decision by any Catholic ruler, except by The Knights, Provence or Cyprus who will instead remain in the control and switch to the Jerusalem tag. When releasing a nation into vassalage, the player may switch to playing as that vassal. If the released nation's core provinces include the releasing country's capital, the capital will not be released, even if it is in the list of provinces to be released. The Creek, for example, will always release as North American tech group country with Creek culture equal to its master in technology. The new country will maintain its default assigned tech group but will start with all the technologies its master possesses. If a same-religion vassal is necessary, converting the future vassal's richer provinces before releasing the vassal will ensure the vassal's adherence to the true faith. Whatever religion is the largest in all of the new vassal's cores everywhere in the world (even if currently not owned by the nation) in terms of development will become the vassal's state religion (cores belonging to its original religion apparently count double) the number of provinces following any given religion is not the determining factor. You'll have to conquer a province with both an Iraqi core and a Levantine culture. However, this province's culture is Kurdish, which is in the Iranian culture group Iraq's historical culture is Mashriqi, which is in the Levantine culture group.ДЄs such, it is not possible to release Iraq from Hisn Kayfa. Releasing nation owns and controls provinces that have the target nation's cores and a culture in the same group as their primary culture.ДЇor example, Iraq has a core on Hisn Kayfa.Nations are eligible for release when the following conditions are satisfied: Click the Create Vassals button and choose the nation to release as a vassal.If the button is gray and not clickable then either there are no nations to release or the player is at war.In the bottom right hand corner of the menu that pops up, there is a button called Create Vassals.If the player's country is not shown, click on View Own Country in the bottom right of the menu. The method of releasing a nation is as follows: One can also release a vassal in order to reconquer its core provinces in future wars for less aggressive expansion and no administrative power cost for either country. This can help after gaining provinces in a peace deal that can't be cored or sold, drive overextension too high, or are extremely rebellious.

The Holy Roman Emperor can also vassalize members of the Holy Roman Empire by passing the penultimate Imperial Reform, 'Revoke The Privilegia'.ДЄ nation at peace may release another nation whose lands it controls. They can also receive autonomy from a larger country, either as a normal nation or as a client state. Countries can be force vassalized in a Peace Treaty or can agree to vassalization via a diplomatic offer. There are several different ways to vassalize a nation.
