Minor country reinforcements are supposed to represent troops that a minor 
country is training for its army. Control of free states simulates 
alliances and patronage by major powers, not outright control. I doubt any 
lesser ruler of the day would reason like this: "My patron has changed, 
therefore I should send home the troops he paid for."
