protectorate

 
     
  In much international terminology, a synonym for protected state (sense 1).


In the 1990s the term was used (as in reference to the Serbian Province of Kosovo) to refer to that part of a sovereign state over which a group of third states or an international organization exercises effective authority.


In British constitutional terminology, a territorial entity which, while not formally a part of the monarch\'s dominions, is treated as if it were. To all intents and purposes, therefore, British protectorates were in the position of colonies. None of Britain\'s remaining dependent territories enjoys this status.
