Hey, sorry to have disappeared for quite some time, real life stuff. Anyways, at the moment, just because I have free time and nothing else to do, I'm creating a detailed map for myself to follow the books with, and I came up with this problem I have regarding the nature of Ebbing and Maecht.

In short, are these two considered Provinces of the Nilfgaardian Empire or are they Vassal Kingdoms. I know in history there were ocasions where Kingdoms would be under an administration of an Empire, such as in the Byzantine and Holy Roman Empire, but I'm not quite sure what is the nature here. All together, from reading the wiki and other sources, it seems that they are Vassal Kingdoms.

And how come Maecht, a rather large territory (and from what i remember more urbanized than Metinna, and a Kingdom) is under the rule of a Province, in this case Metinna, which is under the Nilfgaardian administration.

And finally, what is the difference between the different duchies in the Empire? Let's say the Duchy of Toussaint and the Duchy of Ymlac. Is the latter as autonomouse as the first one? or is there a large difference of administration between these two. This also extends to Rowan and Salm.

Thanks! And i wish you a late Happy New Year!
