EU5:Checklist/Integrate-annex

Integrate Provinces and Annex Vassals

Step-by-Step

1. After victory, open the Cabinet or Province tab and select newly conquered provinces for integration.
2. Use cabinet actions to “Integrate Province,” starting the long-term process for full control, tax collection, and stability.
3. Annex vassals when possible; monitor loyalty and unrest to avoid rebellions during transition.
4. Destroy unnecessary forts and disband excess levies to save maintenance.
5. Balance estate privileges and adjust cabinet assignments to speed up integration.

Why This Matters

• Integration and annexation are critical for converting conquests into stable, profitable provinces.
• Early annexation expands your direct control and reduces vassal conflict.
• Smart integration policy prevents economic and unrest issues.
