Official narrative

Wikipedia takes a narrow view of this term and considers only the most blatant puppet states. It also conflates puppet leader, which is clearly a different concept.

Problems

It overlooks de facto control of client states, and overlooks the importance of economic domination[Example(s) needed].

George Curzon“[We need an] Arab facade ruled and administered under British guidance and controlled by a native Mohammedan and, as far as possible, by an Arab staff…. There should be no actual incorporation of the conquered territory in the dominions of the conqueror, but the absorption may be veiled by such constitutional fictions as a protectorate, a sphere of influence, a buffer state and so on.””George Curzon
