Puppet Government

A puppet government is a political system where a country's leaders are controlled by an outside power or a dominant group, rather than being elected by the populace. This external force influences decisions, policies, and governance, often undermining the sovereignty of the nation. Puppet governments can form after military interventions, colonial rule, or political manipulation, leading to public discontent and a lack of legitimacy. While they may appear to operate independently, their true authority typically lies with the external entity that supports or backs them.
