Do colonial nations provide their motherland with manpower or increased force limits

europa-universalis-iv

I'm rather new to EU4 (with CoP) and am having fun creating a cluster of colonial nations in North America as Great Britain. I'm considering going on a bigger conquest spree in Europe, and to do this I'll definitely need more manpower.

I can't for the life of me find anything on whether CN's contribute manpower (or raise force limits?) for their owners. The wiki page on Vassals suggests that they have the force limit raised (but not the man power?), and the page for subject nations tells me that Trade Companies do not contribute manpower – which suggests that normal Vassals (and CNs?) do.

Thanks!

You do not receive manpower from any subject nation.

Colonial nations increase naval force limit, but not army force limit.
