Tributary states are regions or territories that pay tribute to a more powerful state in exchange for protection, autonomy, or other benefits. This relationship often involves the tributary state providing resources, goods, or services to the dominant state, acknowledging its superiority. Historically, this system has been seen in various cultures, where the tributary state maintains a degree of self-governance while being subordinate to a larger empire or kingdom. Examples include vassal states in feudal Europe and various states within the Chinese tributary system.
