Satellite state

A Satellite state is a nation politically and economically dominated by another nation.

The expression was most commonly used to describe the Central and Eastern European countries of the Warsaw pact during the Cold War. These countries were politically tightly controlled by the Soviet Union (from 1945-1948 until 1989).
