WHAT DOES SATELLITE NATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Satellite state

The political term satellite state designates a country that is formally independent in the world, but under heavy political, economic and military influence or control of another country. The term was coined by analogy to planetary objects orbiting a larger object, such as smaller moons revolving around larger planets, and is used mainly to refer to Central and Eastern European countries of the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War or to Mongolia between 1924 and 1990, for example. As used for Central and Eastern European countries it implies that the countries in question were "satellites" under the hegemony of the Soviet Union. In some contexts it also refers to other countries in the Soviet sphere of influence during the Cold War—such as North Korea and Cuba. In Western usage, the term has seldom been applied to states other than those in the Soviet orbit. In Soviet usage, the term applied to the states in the orbit of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the use of the phrase satellite state in English back at least as far as 1916.
