Do they starve and die honorably, or do they waltz all over you supply lines and cause danger in your zone? I think they should become rebels or free marauders.

If they became rebels or freemen, then they wouldn't need supplies. It would make more sense narratively, but in practice would make them much more dangerous.

Efficient spies previously keeping good tabs on events simultaneously take a grand vacation. The remnant territories become a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma until your troops get around to marching up to every last scrap of territory to say "Yep, pretty sure there's nothing here."

I was hoping this wouldn't be the case. This really needs to be fixed...

I'm currently bordering two minors I'm at peace with, after having eliminated the major they were at war with. But I can't do anything with them, no protectorates, client states - nothing. They're still set as being at war with an "unknown major".
Their other neighbours are all unzoned land, so no major nearby...

Yes, more dangerous! And it makes sense for the narrative. Maybe they could just dissolve into the surrounding freeman hexes. Of course, I want those freeman hexes to not have recon on them anymore, so they might be easy additions to the empire, or have large quantities of freemen marauders.
