I have two alliances as Britian (vanilla & latest patch) one Defensive with Portugal (Independant Nation) and one Defensive with the Ionian Islands which is also a satellite of mine. I understand that the one with Portugal will expire within 5 years, however I have no option to un-ally myself prior to that (the break alliance button is greyed out). Also how do I break Satellite country ties with the Ionians? Is that even possible? I bought the non-home province from them thinking I could re-release them and see what happened but it is not an option on my release satellite list.
