There are many [[different]] varieties of puppets, and they are made of a wide range of [[materials]], depending on their form and intended use. They can be [[extremely]] [[complex]] or very [[simple]] in their construction. They may even be found objects. As [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Wilde Oscar Wilde] wrote, "There are many [[advantages]] in puppets. They never [[argue]]. They have no crude views about art. They have no private lives".

The word puppet can mean a [[political]] [[leader]] installed, supported and controlled by more powerful [[forces]], without legitimacy in the country itself. In [[modern]] times, this usually implies no democratic [[mandate]] from the country's electorate; in earlier times, it could have meant a [[monarch]] imposed from outside, who was not a member of a country's established ruling [[dynasty]], and/or unrecognised by its [[nobility]]. "Puppet government", "puppet regime" and "puppet state" are derogatory terms for a [[government]] which is in charge of a region or country, but only through being installed, [[supported]] and controlled by a more powerful outside government (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quisling Quisling]).[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet]
