Client state

A client state, in international relations, is a state that is economically, politically, and/or militarily subordinate to another more powerful state (called “controlling state” in this article). A client state may variously be described as satellite state, associated state, dominion, condominium, self-governing colony, neo-colony, protectorate, vassal state, puppet state, and tributary state.
== ShitCraft IV ==
=== Johanian Republic ===
The Johanian Republic gathered the largest territory of ShitCraft IV. Most of its regions were directly incorporated into the federal body in forms of republics, special territories, confederative states and provinces, and most retained high self governance. However, some were not fully incorporated and thus seemingly projected as self-governing states choosing to be in a close alliance with the Johanian Republic. Some of its territories are ambiguous if they actually were client states or merely extentions of the federal body as they had limited international recognition. This includes the short lived Caucasus Protectorate, which never was seen as an independent.
