I made a scenario in which Ghandi starts as a vassal of England, put it in public maps, then started playing as Ghandi. Every turn I got a popup asking me if I wanted to keep giving a bonus to England or declare war on them, but otherwise played normally. When I finally, declared war, the English garrison force of redcoats meekly WALKED back to England (or rather actually to Egypt, which was also held by the English), walking past War Elephants and undefended cities, merely stopping to pillage a little.
