United States (Main architect of client states)

The United States has often played a leading role in shaping the political and security frameworks of other countries, especially after World War II, by supporting or establishing governments aligned with its interests. These "client states" are nations where the U.S. influences policies, provides military or economic aid, and helps organize governance to promote stability and its strategic goals. This approach often aims to expand U.S. influence, contain rival powers, and promote democracy and economic development, but it can also lead to complex relationships where local sovereignty is influenced or limited by U.S. interests.
