{{Version|1.0}}
A '''subject''' is a country which is subordinate to another country (the '''overlord'''). All subject types become a junior member of the overlord's customs union.

Most subject types must be a lower [[rank]] than their overlord, and no subject type can ever be a great power. For example, [[East India Company]] is a major power at the start of the game despite having more prestige than [[United States of America]], a great power, because they are a subject of [[Great Britain]], also a great power.

Additionally, subjects have other restrictions or obligations, varying by type, such as paying a portion of their tax income to the overlord, being unable to start their own diplomatic plays, or being forced to join their overlord's diplomatic plays. However, they also receive a degree of protection, as the overlord is automatically called into diplomatic plays targeting the subject. However, subjects are not protected by their overlord if they join a diplomatic play targeting another country.

A subject is not immune to diplomatic plays from their overlord, however; notably, some types of subjects can be fully annexed through a diplomatic play.

== Subject types ==
There are six types of proper subjects, and one pseudo-subject type, the Customs Union member. Three of the proper subject types are non-autonomous, meaning they are unable to start or join any diplomatic plays, except for independence, and they automatically join their overlord's diplomatic plays. The other types, including Customs Union, are autonomous, meaning they may start or join diplomatic plays as normal, do not automatically join their overlord's diplomatic plays, and may have their own subjects.

Aside from personal unions, all above types of subject can be created through diplomatic plays. In addition, protectorates and tributaries can be established by a [[diplomatic action]], with either country proposing. Puppets or vassals can also be created by releasing a country from owned states.

Personal unions are the only subject that share the same ruler with its overlord. Additionally, a personal union junior can be the same rank as, or even higher than, the overlord, though this is unlikely in regular gameplay. It is not possible to form a personal union during the game, though they can be transferred from one monarchy to another through a diplomatic play. Personal union ends if the senior partner becomes a non-monarchy. The only instances are present at the start of the game. Personal unions that exist in the game are:

* [[Denmark]]-[[Holstein]]
* [[Denmark]]-[[Schleswig]]
* [[Great Britain]]-[[Hanover]] – ends with the death of King William
* [[Netherlands]]-[[Luxembourg]]
* [[Russia]]-[[Finland]]
* [[Sweden]]-[[Norway]]

=== Customs union ===
While defined as a subject type, a customs union is not a proper subject type. The senior partner is not obligated to protect its junior partners. However, like proper subject types, a junior partner of a customs union cannot become a great power, and it contributes 50% of its convoys to the senior partner.
