To use the command, you'd have to type tributary [country tag] into the console, replacing [country tag] with the three-letter code of the country you want to make your tributary.
This command is useful because it allows you to expand indirectly - instead of directly ruling the territory yourself, you can have a friendly country ruling the territory that faithfully sends resources to you. This saves you administrative capacity and the effort of integrating the territory.
