Create your own custom client states

With EU4: Art of War it is possible to create client states – states, that function similarly to vassals, but with several advantages over the latter. Most importantly, client states have smaller coring cost and reduced unrest, making them slightly better at integrating territory in comparison to your usual vassal. To prevent this feature’s overuse, it is allowed to only have a maximum of 10 client states simultaneously.
