benefit of satellites?

[joemcmullin]

should I just conquer all the cities say of naples rather than satalite them? If I create the kingdom it doesnt seem to do anything for me. No forces, no expeditionary forces are ever accepted, no money.

Whats the point?

Do I make more money or get more from occupying everything or creating satalites?

Also France is always short of cash, how is money calculated and where besides RGD can I get them from?

Each satellite nation is a bit different in what benefits you gain. Many offer force pools from which you can build. This means they offer regions where you can recruit and gather. Not all do this, however. But you do gain the city values.
