@Binar,
Mostly abduct, a few trads here and there. GBP on abducts (and abduct gains in general) are a joke. None of them are in warring range, if I discount the inactives we're like 60% their size with half their provinces. The monarch is out with the flu too, so that's not helping.
My suggestion would be politely explain you are not going to war them and ask them to agree a CF. Explain politely that if they keep hitting you will start hostile ops.

Obviously if in reality your provs aren't set up to perform hostile ops, then there's very little you can do, but if that's the case I'm not really sure it's the game's fault. Of course you are welcome to chill, but obviously people are going to want to take your resources if you have no way of responding.

As for the new provs, I agree with you that it's not the best introduction for them. You could explain to them though that that wouldn't happen in all KDs - it is an effect of you being in a chill KD without any/many viable ways of responding and with a relatively low number of active and experienced players.

He would probably also benefit form WTs to at least discourage them.
