- A state under the effective control of another state. Technically independent and in charge of its own affairs, but in reality if it tries anything without the say-so of the government of the nation in charge of it its liable to end up occupied again. An old term for this is Satrapies. Calling something a vassal state, client state or satellite state is another. The nation trying to break away and regain true independence may be a plot point. Normally part of The Empire, The Kingdom is usually a stand-alone thing. Examples

| - A state under the effective control of another state. Technically independent and in charge of its own affairs, but in reality if it tries anything without the say-so of the government of the nation in charge of it its liable to end up occupied again. An old term for this is Satrapies. Calling something a vassal state, client state or satellite state is another. The nation trying to break away and regain true independence may be a plot point. Normally part of The Empire, The Kingdom is usually a stand-alone thing. This isn't always entirely one-sided; one reason for a state becoming a puppet state may have been in exchange for the larger state watching its back in case of war. Whether or not the puppet (or the empire) is happy with this state of affairs is another matter. If the state is nominally democratic or republican and holds elections, and those are controlled by the parent state, see Corrupt Politician. Examples
