Hello there.

This has probably been asked a hundred times, but I don't seem to find the answer in here. Or is there a search function?
Anyways. How do you annex independent nations? Or is it even possible?
For example: I (Bavaria) went into war with Switzerland and after some trys, I made it to take over all their provinces. So I thought: "Hey, they're totally done. Let's annex them!" But in the diplomatic options didn't came up anything about "annexing". My war "score" was at a 100% but I could only take their provinces except Bern and make them a satellite and so on.
So how do I annex them if it's possible? :confused:

Thank you in advance.

demand all but 3 of their provinces, (optional: humiliate). When peace treaty is over (or you might choose to violate the treaty), attack again, then annex.

the reason to left 3 provinces is that annexing cost 1 BB per province but ceding a province cost 2 BB, you save 2 BB!
 
Ok, just so I don't get frustrated. I demand 3 of their provinces. Get the hell outta there... OR WAIT! What if I already demanded all of their provinces and declare war again and attack their capital (in this case Bern). Can I annex it?

Yes.
