tributary state
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: tributary states
Senses: examples: text: The tributary state is the opposite of the garrison state. A garrison state retains its sovereign independence from foreign control or intimidation by jettisoning liberty. By contrast, a tributary state retains the liberties of its citizens by sacrificing sovereign independence.... The tributary state is familiar from history. Many weak countries have averted attack or conquest by bargaining with aggressors. In return for being allowed to preserve its internal autonomy and the way of life of its people, the tributary state may agree to defer to the aggressor in its foreign policy. Finland, during the Cold War, was a tributary state in this sense.

text: All the Siamese tributary States are virtually under the Protectorate of the King of Siam – the king being Lord paramount or Suzerain. When a chief accedes to the seat of supreme authority in any tributary State, it is necessary that he obtain the sanction of the Suzerain. In case the Suzerain is called upon to select a chief for any tributary State, he must make the selection from that State and the prince must be unanimously approved by both officers and people of the State. Enjoying such popularity his appointment may be confirmed by the king of Siam, and not otherwise.
