Wikipedia
Rump state
A rump state is the remnant of a once much larger state, left with a reduced territory in the wake of secession, annexation, occupation, decolonization, or a successful coup d'état or revolution on part of its former territory. In the last case, a government stops short of going into exile because it controls part of its former territory.
ChatGPT
rump state
A rump state refers to a small, remaining territory or government that emerges after a larger political entity has collapsed or disintegrated. It is typically characterized by a reduced level of power, influence, and territorial control compared to the original state. Rump states often lack the resources, legitimacy, and international recognition enjoyed by the predecessor state. They may exist temporarily or attempt to regain lost territories or rebuild themselves into full-fledged states.

Rump state
A rump state is the remnant of a once-larger government, left with limited powers or authority after a disaster, invasion, military occupation, secession or partial overthrowing of a government. In the last case, a government stops short of going in exile because it still controls part of its previous territory. For example, after the Qing government assumed control over most of China, the original Ming regime turned to resistance in the south until its eventual conquest. The Seleucid Empire, which once controlled most of the Middle East, was reduced drastically in size by the rise of the Parthian Empire in its eastern provinces because of a regional rebellion. What was left of the once large empire was a rump state composed of little more than Antioch, Damascus, and an area roughly equal in size to modern Syria. The Domain of Soissons, left after the downfall of the Western Roman Empire, was another example of a rump state. Austria and Hungary have been rump states of the unified Austria-Hungary since the end of the First World War. Another example of a rump state was Vichy France, founded after the Battle of France in 1940 when the Axis powers defeated France in World War II. Vichy France governed all three Axis occupation zones under the control of the Axis powers until France's liberation in 1944. Similarly, the Salo regime was a continuation of the fascist-governed Italy led by Benito Mussolini, re-established by Nazi Germany in 1943 in northern Italy, and persisting until 1945.
