The Italians declared against my French puppet and I was drawn in automatically. First, they got me into a war against the Italian faction (ahistorical enabled). I'm playing a non-European minor (South Africa), accidentally got into a war with France and puppeted them (mistakenly thinking that their ships would be useful), and now they keep getting me into wars that I don't want anything to do with.I also don't see any options in their diplomacy tab or in my manage subjects window to kick them out of the nest. In the manage subjects view (tfv enabled), there's an option to decrease my puppet's autonomy, but if I want to increase their autonomy, the opposite side of the autonomy bar isn't clickable.
