Peaceful Annexation of Protectorates?

I don't have COGEE, only COG. One of the things that annoyed me in COG was the inability to peacefully annex a protectorate. In game terms, the Netherlands was a French protectorate from the revolutionary wars till 1810, when Napoleon annexed it directly to France proper. In the game, the only way I can do this is to liberate my protectorate and invade it!
Is there a way to peacefully annex a protectorate in COG? If not, I would certainly like to see this in a later patch....perhaps add in a rule that the protectorate has to have a direct land border with you, otherwise you'll get Britain annexing Hungary or Portugal.

No, you cannot annex a protectorate, as far as I know!

This is a very good point which deserves design consideration IMHO.

Does seem like a good idea.

However, I can think of plenty of protectorates who would be happy with being a protectorate, but might have problems with being annexed. So it definitely shouldn't be easy. Perhaps there is a type of "coup" attempt necessary (much easier than a current Coup attempt), which risks rebellion if it fails?
