change_tag
andcreate_vassal = RYU
interaction. Instead this changes Ryukyu to be left independentbecause I could not find a reason to enforce this. Most especially,

annexation decision instead of enforcing puppetry here: The
inherit_ryukyu
decision is a more elegant way of expressing thesituation. This also forces Japan to earn their conquest of Ryukyu
through usually sphering it, instead of automatically acquiring it.
I have left in the stipulation in
inherit_ryukyu
that prevents the aifrom clicking it when when the player is Ryukyu.
