Sovereign Hegemony?Sets rules and can enforce them with hard and soft power of its own.Sovereign Satellite?Real state capacity, but orbit fixed by a stronger patron or bloc.Satellite/Proxy/Protectorate State?Client or protectorate logic: security and strategy run on patronage, dependent states that are not sovereign.Artificial or Power Vacuum State?Borders and order shaped more by collapse and settlement than by self-generated (natural) power.Financial Safe-Haven?Sovereignty productized as discretion, routing, and fiduciary cover.Peripheral Buffer Zone?Geography and alliance position matter more than autonomous strategy.
