附属国 Dependent state

指在某种程度上处于从属他国的地位的国家，包括附庸国和被保护国两种表现形式。附庸国与宗主国相对应，附庸国隶属于宗主国的宗主权，在对外关系上完全或基本上由宗主国代表，但在国家内部事务上仍享有独立的地位，被视为不完全国际法主体。被保护国与保护国相对应，被保护国基于其与保护国缔结的条约而将其对外事务交由保护国处理和负责，亦被视为不完全国际法主体。目前，附庸国已成历史陈迹，被保护国也只有安道尔。

States can be classified into two general categories: dependent and independent. A dependent state does not exercise the full range of power over external affairs that an independent state possesses under international law. The controlling or protecting state may also regulate some of the internal affairs of the dependent state. 相关例句如下，可供参考：

例句1

Formal treaties and the conditions under which the status of dependency has been recognized by other states govern the balance of sovereign powers exercised by the protecting state and the dependent state.

正式条约和其他国家承认属地地位的条件制约着保护国和附属国行使主权权力的平衡。

例句2

Various terms have been used to describe different types of dependent states, such as condominium, mandate, protectorate, and vassal state. Since 1945 there has been strong international pressure to eliminate forms of dependency associated with colonialism.

各种各样的术语被用来描述不同类型的附属国，如共管、委任统治、保护国和附庸国。自1945年以来，国际社会一直强烈要求消除与殖民主义相关的各种形式的依赖。
