A Protectorate Treaty is where a large alliance agrees to defend a smaller one from attack. It differs from a Mutual Defense Pact in that the larger alliance does not generally require help from the smaller one in the event the larger alliance is attacked. It is essentially a "one-way MDP".
The specifics of protectorate treaties can differ in the amount of control exerted by the larger partner upon the other.
