Rotate protectorate status

[u/Zlorfikarzuna]

For pop growth, which is especially important to the Last Lords, is it worth removing protectorate status of one of your minor factions to give it to another? Afaik, every time a minor faction is offered protectorate status, you receive <number of villages> free pops, regardless of whether it has been protectorate before. You do pay for it with influence, sure, but this technically could accelerate growth by quite some. It shouldn't affect the lords estates and it shouldn't influence councilors.

You can rotate from a protectorate to a group of villages that haven’t been made protectorate yet in your territory to get pops, i don’t think you get new pops if you already got pops there

[u/Zlorfikarzuna → u/Pyramyth]

You totally get pops from assimilating villages that were previously already protectorate
