	Puppet state - Simple English Wikipedia
		A Puppet state is a country that is officially independent, but isn't really.
		Most puppet states are controlled by foreign countries, but some are controlled by corporations (like Guatemala, once controlled by the United Fruit Company) or even by terrorist groups (like Taliban Afghanistan after 1998, which was controlled by Al-Qaida).
		Puppet governments are usually kept in power by soldiers kept within their territory by the controlling power.

	Satellite state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "satellite state" is often seen as close in meaning, or even synonymous, with other terms such as "puppet state", which typically have a much more pejorative connotation.
		In some contexts, though, "puppet state" denotes a government completely dependent on a larger power, in contrast to a satellite state which, in various aspects, including economics, has a slightly greater degree of formal independence.
		The phrase "puppet state" is used frequently to connote the dependence of small nations to a larger power, especially implying that without necessary support of the larger power the "puppet state" would simply collapse.

		Puppets moved by strings are also known as marionettes from the French medieval passion-play figure attributed to Marion or the young Mary, mother of Jesus.
		A general distinction between a puppet and an automaton is the former is mostly operated live and the latter is mostly programmed (for example a coin-operated automata-show or piano-roll sideshow figure).
		Puppets of all sizes and types may be categorized under this umbrella term since this form allows a wide range of puppets, controlled by one or many puppeteers.

		According to Vladko Maček, the establishment of the state was greeted with approval by the middle classes and the intelligentsia who had become disillusioned with Yugoslavia, but the peasantry had met it with suspicion.

		If we accept an analogy of the state as a building, the basic framework of the Manchukuo state was constructed during the first four months of 1932- the first year of the new state- and endured until its demise in 1945.
		Similar to the legacy of the warlord regime in Manchukuo, the colonial state in Seoul (during the colonial period) bequeathed a large part of its bureaucrats and policemen to the new liberated Korean state.
		And in September, there were the "state foundation athletic meeting for the fifth anniversary of Japan's recognition of Manchukuo," an exhibition for victories, and an invocation ceremony for the spirits of the Manchurian Incident.

	Blogrel » Is NK a state?
		Usually, you have to meet everything stated in the Montevideo Convention: The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.
		It’s a de-facto state but the territory that it’s on is disputed by another state so I guess unless the dispute is resolved, it does not meet the territory test.
		With respect to (d), the presence of a contingent of Russian troops might suggest there would be a “puppet state” situation if the PMR (Pridnestrovskaya Moldavskaya Respublika - as the government of Transnistria calls the territory) were to be recognized as an independent country.
