A satellite nation is a nation that appears to be sovereign, but is actually under the control of another nation. Examples would be nations such as Hungary and Poland under the USSR.
A nation state is a geographical area that can be identified as deriving its political legitimacy from serving as a sovereign nation. A state is a political and geopolitical entity, while a nation is a cultural and ethnic one.The term nation state implies that the two coincide, but nation state formation can take place at different times in different parts of the world.The internal diversity of the Ottoman Empire, for instance, was very great.) After the 19th-century triumph of the nation state in Europe, regional identity was subordinate to national identity, in regions such as Alsace-Lorraine, Catalonia, Brittany and Corsica.
