Why doesn't puppet accept my alliance proposal?

[unmerged(44481)]

in arma I just released a coutry and I asked for allieance several times but it kept refusing. I have a great military and economy and not to mention relations are +200. So why aren't they accepting my alliance proposal?

Wouldn't it be because it is already part of your alliance as Puppets are automatically allied to the releaser?

But I can't send expeditionary forces nor buy provinces from them and the option to ask alliance is there so...

You wouldn't be able to buy provinces from puppets, as they only have their national provinces.

If a lone nation creates a puppet it wont automatically create an Alliance with you. Additionaly you cant make it even though its your puppet. :wacko:

You can create an alliance with a puppet, but I'm not sure about the requirements. I think in peace time all you have to do is guarantee their independence and offer a non-aggression pact.

In war time there is more than that. I once played a game in which I Dowed UK as lone nation. I wanted to create an alliance with Australia, so I annexed it and released it as puppet. I guaranteed their independence, offered a non-aggression pact and still had a 0% chance. Later, when I annexed New Zealand I had a 100% chance and could create the alliance. Maybe puppets don't like it when an enemy capital is within certain range?

When a lone nation releases a puppet, a new alliance should be automatically created.
