What countries do you consider to be owned by other countries? (Too much influence in any key area: Military, Education, Territory, Wealth, Government, etc)

Venezuela owned by Cuba.

Ukraine owned by Russia.

Greece is currently being controlled by the Germans - but there's a fine line at the moment between the Greeks now controlling the Germans back .

Yeah, I don't know about that it seems more like a straight alliance of balanced powers.

Anyways, I think the word you're looking for here is hegemony.

Until recently, Syria exercised hegemony over Lebanon.

France exercises hegemony over many of its former colonies in subsaharan Africa.

The United States has varying degrees of influence over a huge portion of the world, including Western Europe, Central America (especially Panama), Canada, South Korea etc.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Israel likewise have powerful influence over US foreign and trade policy.

The Edward Snowden leak says a lot about the American influence and power. Snowden did not have many options. It was either China or Russia.
