Ottoman sphere of influence

The **tributary system** of the Ottoman Empire was dictated by a series of small states that paid tribute in one way or another to the Ottoman Empire. Initially, the system started after the Beylik of Rakkah was created out of the Akk Koyunlu tribes in 1448 CE, and was a "standard vassal" of the Empire. It was expanded after the Beylik of Ramazan, as well as the Duchy of Achaea, agreed to become a satellite, and later the Marmaran Confederation became a satellite, until the dedicated "annexation date" of 1465 CE. The next addition was the Kingdom of Bosnia, however they were only loosely tied in. After the conflict involving them and the Despotate of Serbia, Bosnia was forced to give up 75% of their total trade to the Ottomans.
