I think that a good edition to the game would be the option to create vassal states. As empires grow and fall, countries are lost in the wind of time, never to be seen again; but if there was a way to recreate those countries. I personally have, as my empires grew, had many sections of my empire that were of no militaristic or economical use to me because i had more important matters elsewhere; but if there were ways to create a nation that would be your close ally, give economy and military aide when requested and help improve your global popularity, I believe it would add more of a realistic air to the game. The vassal states could also be based less directly on your global popularity(since they are still associated with your nation) and more on regional popularity(if a set of provinces doesn't want to become independent then the morale will drop(if they have plenty of industry and ports already) or if they have nothing going on in them they will want more independence). Vassal states can also rejoin your nation if you choose(also morale based based on how well they like their current state). Vassal states can also have the chance to rebel as a region and join a new country if the morale is below 35%(morale with vassal states can be based regionally). With vassal states you can also request more or less of resources and military(vassals produce regional military that can't leave the state unless taken control by the ruling nation through troop requests) which will affect the morale of the region. Vassal states can still be counted as part of the ruling nation's score and can not have individual diplomatic relations with other countries.
